# ChatGPT - How to Generate the ChatGPT API Key to Integrate with SprintHub

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/Cu6H5iDLHFQ>" %}

### Introduction

If you want to integrate the ChatGPT API with Sprinthub, know that the process is simple and does not require subscribing to any prepaid plan. OpenAI operates on the **pay-as-you-go**model, meaning you only pay for what you consume.

Below, we explain the step-by-step process to generate the API key required for the integration.

### Step-by-step to Create an API Key on OpenAI

#### 1. Access the OpenAI Platform

Visit the OpenAI website via the link and click "start building":

👉 [OpenAI Developer Platform](https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview)

If you don't have an account yet, sign up for free and log in.

#### 2. Create an Organization

If this is your first time accessing the platform, you will need to create an organization:

* Enter a **name for the organization**.
* Choose the option that best describes your technical profile.
* Click **“Create organization”**.

#### 3. Generate an API Key

After creating the organization, follow these steps:

* In the **API Key Name**, set a name for the key (example: "My Test Key").
* In the **Project Name**, you can leave the default or name the project according to your needs.
* Click **“Generate API Key”**.

Your key will be displayed on the screen. **Copy and store this key in a safe place.**

#### 4. Configure Credits for API Usage (Optional)

OpenAI adopts a pay-as-you-go model. To start consuming the API, you can:

* Select one of the available credit options (example: **$5, $10 or $20**).
* Or skip this step and purchase credits later.

### If you already have an organization created within OpenAI

#### 1. Access Existing Keys in the Dashboard

If you have already set up OpenAI previously and want to access your keys:

* In the side menu, click on **“API Keys”**.
* View or generate new keys as needed.

#### 2. Integrate the API with Sprinthub

Now that you have the API key, you can use it for integration with Sprinthub.

* Copy the key and paste it into Sprinthub's configuration, in the field intended for the OpenAI API.

### Final Considerations

Generating an API key on OpenAI is a quick and hassle-free process. Since billing is usage-based, you have full control over your expenses. **Remember to never share your API key publicly**, as this can compromise the security of your account.

Now that you know how to generate your key, take the opportunity to explore the possibilities of integration with Sprinthub! 🚀
