This guide explains how to generate an OpenAI API secret key and integrate it with MagicAI. It covers creating the key, securely storing it, and configuring it within MagicAI to enable AI-powered features for a seamless connection.
We use words and images as credits to generate responses from the OpenAI API. To understand the costs associated with API usage, please refer to the pricing page at OpenAI API Pricing. There, you’ll find detailed information on word counts, image usage, and associated costs. You can estimate your expected word and image usage to calculate the total cost for your project.

Testing your API key
After adding your API key, you can test it by clicking this button:

If it says “FAILED”, you may have entered your API key incorrectly or you may have forgotten an empty string (space character) in your API key. For more info, check out this article: https://magicaidocs.liquid-themes.com/openai-api-doesnt-work/
