Frequently Asked Questions

Can I view my ChatGPT API key again after creating it?

No, OpenAI only displays your API key once immediately after creation for security reasons. If you lose your key, you'll need to create a new one. Make sure to copy and store it securely right away.

How many API keys can I create for my ChatGPT account?

OpenAI allows you to create multiple API keys for different projects and use cases. You can manage all your keys from the API Keys section in your account settings. It's good practice to create separate keys for different applications.

Is there a cost associated with getting a ChatGPT API key?

Creating an API key itself is free, but you'll be charged based on your actual usage of the ChatGPT API. OpenAI offers some free credits for new users, and after that, you pay per token used in your API calls.
