Important: You need a valid OpenAI developer account with billing set up or sufficient credits to use the API. While free trial credits may be available initially, you must add a payment method once those are depleted to continue using OpenAI’s services.

Obtain Your OpenAI API Key #️⃣

  1. Sign Up

    • Go to the OpenAI Platform and create an account if you haven’t already.
  2. Create or Select a Project

    • After signing in, create a new project or select an existing one in your OpenAI dashboard.
  3. Find Your API Keys

    • Click on your account/profile icon (typically in the top-right corner) or navigate via the left-hand panel to find API Keys.
  4. Create a New Secret Key

    • Click Create new secret key to generate a fresh token.
    • Copy this secret key immediately after generation, you won’t be able to view it again once you close the dialog.
  5. Set Up Billing

    • If you haven’t added a payment method, go to Billing in the left-hand menu.
    • You may receive free trial credits (typically $5) when signing up, but you’ll need a valid billing option once these are exhausted.

Note: Treat your secret key like a password. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control.
