RunPod API key setup
Cloud platform for deploying full-stack AI apps. 750K+ developers.
Get your key
- Open the RunPod site: runpod.io

- Paste it into the Dracon BYOK provider keys, stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM), used browser-direct, works in every Dracon tool.

Two free extensions take the key you just set up. Both read the page you are on and use your own provider key: free, no account, nothing stored on a server we run.

Gotchas
Browser-direct chat is not available for this provider: This provider uses separate URLs per operation rather than one chat endpoint.. Dracon provider keys still cover it for tools that run elsewhere (for example a LiteLLM chain from the Dracon Router builder).
