If you have multiple Orion accounts (for redundancy), you can rotate API keys programmatically:
keys = ["key_1", "key_2", "key_3"]
for key in keys:
try:
response = query_orion(key, prompt)
break
except RateLimitError:

Once you have your key, integration takes less than five minutes. Orion follows a RESTful architecture similar to OpenAI's spec, making migration effortless.
