Create an API key from the AI provider account you already use.

Examples: DeepSeek, Gemini, Qwen or another compatible provider.

Add it to your dashboard

Select the provider, paste the API key and test the connection.

The saved key is shown in masked form, such as sk-••••7F2A.

One simple connection

Use one Gateway Key for your connected providers

A Gateway Key gives OpenClaw or another supported application one connection point, while your original provider keys stay inside your private account settings.

  • ✓ Avoid placing every provider key in multiple applications.
  • ✓ Revoke or replace a Gateway Key without changing your original provider account.
  • ✓ Set request limits and restrict which models can be used.
  • ✓ View basic usage and error information from one dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

API Hub FAQ

Simple answers about provider keys and the planned gateway.

Create the key inside the account or developer console of the provider you want to use. This platform does not issue the original provider key.
No. Usage is subject to the provider account, balance, free allowance and pricing connected to your own API key.
A Provider Key is issued by a model provider. A Gateway Key is created by this platform and is intended to provide one connection point for providers already configured in your account.
The planned dashboard supports multiple provider records so users can choose different models for different tasks.
The planned custom provider option allows a compatible Base URL and API key. For security, the backend must only allow validated and approved destinations.
The current website code is the front-end interface. Key storage, connection testing, routing and usage tracking require the custom backend plugin before launch.
