Grok API key setup
xAI's Grok models — frontier reasoning, vision, voice, and image/video generation through one API. Usage-based pricing, no minimums.
Get your key
- Open the Grok API keys page: console.x.ai/
- Create an account and generate an API key.
- Paste it into the Dracon key manager — stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), used browser-direct, works in every Dracon tool.
Free tier
No recurring free tier advertised as of the last check (2026-07-10). Usage is billed per the provider's listed pricing — you pay them directly, no Dracon markup.
Rate limits: Usage-based, no minimums; per-model rate limits apply (see xAI docs)
