Get Your OpenRouter API Key

First, you'll need to obtain an API key from OpenRouter. This key allows you to access their AI models directly and pay only for what you use.

  1. Go to openrouter.ai, click Sign In, and create a free account.

  2. Open API Keys in the OpenRouter dashboard and click Create API Key.

  3. Give the key a name, for example TypingMind, and copy it. It starts with sk-or-v1-.

  4. Optional: open Credits and click Add Credits ($5 minimum, paid by card or crypto). Credits never expire, and some models are free to try without them.

Sometimes, this provider will require you to add a payment method to your account before you can use your API key to chat with AI. So, to avoid any hiccups, make sure you've got a payment method set up and ready to go!

Important: Keep your API key secure and never share it publicly. Store it safely as you'll need it to connect with TypingMind.
