# 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 signing up for any prepaid plan. OpenAI works on a **pay-as-you-go**, meaning you only pay for what you use.

Below, we explain step by step how to generate the API key needed for the integration.

### Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an API Key in OpenAI

#### 1. Access the OpenAI Platform

Go to the OpenAI website through the link and click on "start building":

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

If you don't already have an account, 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 on **“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 on **“Generate API Key”**.

<figure><img src="https://684109703-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9FzUKkagBNy5uQ7AtGNa%2Fuploads%2FbNRJijHeqIih9DQv17Cj%2Fimage%20(3).png?alt=media&amp;token=fbc68875-97a9-4f4f-ae68-0f4d73ecc065" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

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

#### 4. Set Up Credits for API Usage (Optional)

OpenAI uses a pay-as-you-go payment model. To start using the API, you can:

* Select one of the available credit options (example: **$5, $10 or $20**).
* Or skip this step and buy 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 before and want to access your keys:

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