Eden AI lets you use your own provider API keys (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, etc.) instead of going through Eden AI’s billing. This gives you flexibility to leverage existing provider contracts, credits, or pricing tiers.

​
Benefits

  • Use existing credits — apply provider credits or free tiers you already have
  • Cost optimization — take advantage of volume discounts or enterprise agreements with providers
  • Full provider access — use provider-specific features or models that may have restricted access
  • Unified interface — even with your own keys, you still get Eden AI’s unified API, monitoring, and routing

​
How to Configure

  1. In the Eden AI dashboard, open Settings > Bring Your Own Keys. You need permission to manage your organization, and a plan that includes your own provider keys.
  2. Select the provider you want to configure (for example OpenAI, Google or Anthropic). Use the search box or a category to find it.
  3. Enter your provider API key and click Save Keys. The provider now shows as Connected.
Your keys apply to the whole organization. Once configured, requests routed to that provider will use your key and be billed directly by the provider.
When using your own provider key, the cost field in API responses reflects the estimated cost based on the provider’s public pricing. Actual billing happens on the provider’s side.

​
What You Still Get

Even when using your own provider keys, Eden AI continues to provide:
  • Unified API format — same request/response structure across all providers
  • Monitoring and logging — track usage, latency, and errors in the Eden AI dashboard
  • Routing and fallback — combine BYOK providers with Eden AI-billed providers in your routing logic
  • File management — use Eden AI’s persistent file storage with any provider

​
When to Use BYOK

You can mix and match — use your own key for one provider and Eden AI billing for others. This lets you optimize costs provider by provider.
