OpenAI setup

To get an OpenAI API key, first register an account in their platform. Note that you can only use the OpenAI API if you have active credit grant(s).

After signing up go to https://platform.openai.com, and click on Dashboard in the top right corner.

Go to dashboard

Then, click API keys in the menu to the left.

Go to API keys view

Open the create dialog by clicking Create new secret key. Keep the default selected permission settings ('All'), and give it a name (the name can be whatever you want).

Create API key

Make sure you copy the generated key, and store it somewhere safe. You won't be able to get the key after you've clicked done.
