Quick Start
Create a personal API key before connecting any client or coding agent.
Create a key
- Sign in to the dashboard.
- Open API Keys.
- Click New API Key.
- Optionally set a label and expiration time.
- Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once.
Use the key
Send the key as a Bearer token:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Use the same key for both OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible gateway URLs.
Model names
Keys authenticate your account. Each request still needs a valid model name from the Models page.
Common Issues
| Symptom | What to check |
|---|---|
401 Unauthorized | Key copied correctly, key still active |
404 / unknown model | Model name from Models page |
| Connection errors | Gateway base URL from landing page or admin |
