API Keys

API keys authenticate requests to OhMyGPT. Each key is tied to your account and can be configured with specific permissions and limits.

Creating an API key

1. Log in to your account at next.ohmygpt.com
2. Navigate to API Keys
3. Click "Create new key"
4. Set a name and optional credit limit
5. Copy the key immediately — it will not be shown again

Using API keys

Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token:

curl https://api.ohmygpt.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OHMYGPT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "gpt-4o", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

With the OpenAI SDK:

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.ohmygpt.com/v1",
    api_key="<OHMYGPT_API_KEY>",
)

Key permissions

API keys can be configured with specific model permissions. By default, keys have access to all models. You can restrict a key to specific models or model families in the key settings.

Programmatic key management

For applications that need to create or manage keys programmatically (e.g., SaaS platforms provisioning keys for customers), OhMyGPT provides a Key Management API.

Prerequisites

To use the Key Management API, you need an API key with administrator privileges. Create this key in the dashboard — admin privileges cannot be granted via the API for security reasons.

API endpoints

Example: List all keys

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.ohmygpt.com/api/v1/user/admin/get-api-tokens",
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer <ADMIN_API_KEY>",
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    }
)

keys = response.json()

Rate limits

Rate limits are determined by your account tier based on cumulative recharge amount:

The system automatically assigns your tier based on recharge history.

Limits and best practices

Best practices:

• Create separate keys for different applications or environments
• Set credit limits on keys to prevent unexpected charges
• Rotate keys periodically
• Revoke unused keys promptly
