EU Routing

Route your AI traffic through Requesty’s EU infrastructure in Frankfurt, Germany (AWS eu-central-1). All processing and storage by Requesty stays in the EU. Combine with EU-only approved models for full end-to-end data residency.

EU routing with Requesty: an encrypted request enters the EU router in Frankfurt and is routed to EU-hosted models in AWS, Azure, and GCP regions, with all processing, storage, and inference staying within the EU. — Your request enters in Frankfurt, stays in the EU, and reaches EU-hosted models across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Configure EU routing in the Requesty Console.

Using the EU endpoint alone only guarantees that Requesty’s processing stays in the EU. To ensure your data never leaves the EU, you must also use an EU model (e.g. bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-central-1 or vertex/gemini-3.5-flash@eu). If you use a global model like anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514, your request will be forwarded outside the EU for inference.

How It Works

There are two layers to consider for EU data residency:

Layer	What it covers	How to enable
Requesty Processing	Request routing, logging, caching, analytics, all in EU	Use `router.eu.requesty.ai` as your base URL
Model Inference	Where the AI model actually runs	Approve only EU region models via the Model Library

Using the EU endpoint guarantees that Requesty’s processing and storage stays in the EU. To also guarantee that model inference stays in the EU, you must use an EU region model (see below).

EU Endpoint

Protocol	EU Endpoint
OpenAI-compatible	`https://router.eu.requesty.ai/v1`
Anthropic-compatible	`https://router.eu.requesty.ai`

Same API key, same request format, same features. Just swap the base URL.

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const client = new OpenAI({

    baseURL: 'https://router.eu.requesty.ai/v1',  // EU endpoint
});

const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-central-1',  // EU model
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello from Europe!' }],
});

console.log(response.choices[0].message);

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(
    api_key="YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY",
    base_url="https://router.eu.requesty.ai",  # EU endpoint (no /v1)
)

message = client.messages.create(
    model="bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-central-1",  # EU model
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from Europe!"}]
)

print(message.content[0].text)

curl https://router.eu.requesty.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_REQUESTY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-central-1",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from Europe!"}]
  }'

Approve EU Only Models

By default, the EU endpoint can route to any model, including models hosted outside the EU. The Requesty processing stays in the EU, but the model inference might not. To guarantee that both Requesty processing and model inference stay in the EU, restrict your organization to EU region models only:

Open the Model Library

Go to Model Library and switch to Table view for the best overview.

Filter by EU Regions

Click the Regions filter and select EU regions: EU, FRANCECENTRAL, SWEDENCENTRAL, or any other European region.

Select and Approve

Select all the EU models you want to allow, then click Add Selected to Approved Models. This restricts your organization to only use these models.

Filter and approve EU only models in the Model Library

The Model Library shows you all available EU models with their provider, pricing, context window, and capabilities (Vision, Reasoning, Tools, Cache). EU region models include:

AWS Bedrock: Models with @eu-central-1, @eu-west-1, @eu-north-1 suffixes (Claude, Llama, Mistral)
Google Vertex: Models with @eu suffix (e.g. vertex/gemini-3.5-flash@eu, vertex/gemini-3.1-flash-lite@eu)
Azure: Models with @francecentral, @swedencentral suffixes
Mistral: Hosted in EU by default

If you enable Approved Models with only EU region models, any request using a non-approved model will be rejected. This is by design, it ensures no data leaves the EU for model inference.

Strict EU Enforcement

Switching the base URL to https://router.eu.requesty.ai is a client-side change. Nothing stops a developer in your organization from still pointing their SDK at the global endpoint. If you need a hard guarantee that all traffic from your organization goes through the EU endpoint, Requesty can enforce this server-side. With strict EU enforcement enabled, any request from your organization to a non-EU endpoint (e.g. router.requesty.ai) is rejected. Every user and every API key in your organization must use https://router.eu.requesty.ai.

Strict EU enforcement is activated on request. Contact [email protected] from your organization’s account and we will enable it for you.

Combine strict EU enforcement with EU only approved models for a complete, organization-wide guarantee that no data leaves the EU, for Requesty processing or for model inference.

In your VS Code settings, set the API base URL to:

https://router.eu.requesty.ai/v1

See the Cline or Roo Code integration guides for full setup.

Combine with Routing Policies

EU routing works with all Requesty features. Create routing policies that stay entirely within EU infrastructure:

EU Failover Policy

Create a Fallback Policy across EU regions:

Priority	Model	Retries
1st	`bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-central-1`	2 retries
2nd	`bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-west-1`	2 retries
3rd	`bedrock/claude-3-5-haiku@eu-central-1`	1 retry

EU Load Balancing

Distribute across EU regions with a Load Balancing Policy:

Model	Weight
`bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-central-1`	50%
`bedrock/claude-sonnet-4-5-v2@eu-west-1`	50%

Other Regional Endpoints

Requesty also offers regional endpoints outside the EU:

Region	Endpoint
EU (Frankfurt)	`https://router.eu.requesty.ai/v1`
US (Global)	`https://router.requesty.ai/v1`

All regional endpoints use the same API key. No additional configuration needed, just change the base URL.

Compliance Summary

Requirement	How Requesty Covers It
GDPR Data Residency	EU endpoint processes and stores all data in Frankfurt (AWS `eu-central-1`)
EU Only Model Inference	Approve only EU region models in the Model Library
Organization Wide EU Enforcement	Reject all requests to non-EU endpoints, activated via [email protected]
PII Protection	Enable Guardrails for automatic PII detection and redaction
Access Control	Use RBAC to restrict who can change model approvals
Audit Trail	Full request logging via Usage Analytics
Data Minimization	Use Request Metadata to tag and track data flows
