OpenAI API key setup
OpenAI's developer API for browser-direct BYOK Chat. Use an API key from the OpenAI platform; ChatGPT login is not part of this connection flow.
Get your key
- Open the OpenAI API keys page: platform.openai.com/api-keys
- Create an account and generate an API key.
- Paste it into the Dracon BYOK provider keys — 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. Usage is billed per the provider's listed pricing — you pay them directly, no Dracon markup.
