How to get ChatGPT 4 api key for free? ›

There is no more free trial credits, and GPT-4 models have always required a paid account that has made payments in the past. You'll have to put your own $5 towards purchasing prepayment credits to use the API and unlock GPT-4 models.

Free tier users can use GPT-4o only a limited number of times within a five hour window. We'll notify you once you've reached the limit and invite you to continue your conversation using GPT-4o mini or to upgrade to ChatGPT Plus.

API Keys is free of charge. If you use Cloud Endpoints to manage your API, you might incur charges at high traffic volumes. For more information, see Endpoints pricing.

When you first sign up for the API, you are on the “free tier.” You can think of this as tier zero as each tier after this one is numbered from one through five. The most important number right now is the usage limits. You cannot spend more than $100 a month when you start out with ChatGPT.

However, to access GPT-4, users must either pay for ChatGPT Plus, access via OpenAI's API, or find a service that has paid to incorporate GPT4 into their own solutions. The GPT4Free GitHub project offered a fourth alternative to these options, but it is now under threat of legal action from OpenAI.

ChatGPT Plus users still have access to GPT-4 when they exceed their GPT-4o limit. Though we expect OpenAI will increase the limits for GPT-4o for both free and paid users, if you'd like to use GPT-4o for more than 15 messages every three hours, you're better off with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

OpenAI removed the prior granting of free trial credits to new accounts and stealthfully removed documentation talking about it. The bottom line is that documentation says the Free Plan has access to API, but as occurs - no. And you can't know that until you ask in the forum.

There is no workaround.

Can I share my OpenAI API key? ›

As you begin experimenting, you may want to expand API access to your team. OpenAI does not support the sharing of API keys. Please invite new members to your account from the Members page and they will quickly receive their own unique key upon sign-in. You can assign permissions to individual API keys as well.

Note that OpenAI charges to use the GPT API. (Free credits are sometimes provided to new users, but who gets credit and how long this deal will last is not transparent.)

By default, Azure OpenAI API keys expire every six months. If an API key is expired, you need to regenerate it. It is recommended to set an expiration time for security reasons.

How to get a free account. You can register your account via email, or you can sign in directly to app.chat-api.com using your Google Account or GitHub Account. You need to create a developer instance on the "Add new instance" page. A developer instance can only be a single instance on an account.

GPT-4 API is a programming interface that allows developers to access the GPT-4 language model. This means that developers can use GPT-4 to build their own AI applications, such as chatbots, text generators, and translation tools. ChatGPT is a pre-built chatbot that uses GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 (based on subscription).
