api_keys
x47 works out of the box without any configuration. Add your own API keys if you want higher rate limits, access to specific models, or to use your existing provider accounts.
no setup required
You can start using x47 immediately - just open the console and run prompts. Custom API keys are optional and only needed if you want to:
- •Use higher rate limits or quotas
- •Access models not available by default
- •Use your existing provider accounts and billing
Your keys stay local
Your API keys are stored in your browser's localStorage. They are never sent to x47 servers. Keys are only transmitted directly to the respective AI provider when you execute a prompt.

security_tips
Keep your API keys secure:
- •Never share your API keys with others
- •Don't commit API keys to version control
- •Rotate keys periodically for better security
- •Set usage limits in your provider dashboard
- •Monitor your API usage for unexpected activity
troubleshooting
"Invalid API key" error
Double-check that you copied the entire key without extra spaces. Some keys are quite long - make sure you got it all.
"Insufficient quota" error
Your API account may need billing information added, or you've exceeded your free tier limits. Check your provider dashboard.
Model not responding
Ensure you have the correct API key for the provider. Each provider requires its own separate key - you can't use an OpenAI key with Anthropic, etc.
