Frequently asked questions

Are these API keys free to use?

Yes. Every key listed here was shared publicly or submitted by the community. Paste one into your client, point it at the provider's base URL, and make a request. If a key is exhausted or revoked, try the next one in the list.

How do I use an OpenRouter key?

Set OPENROUTER_API_KEY to the key value and use https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 as the base URL. OpenRouter is OpenAI-compatible, so any client or SDK that accepts a custom base URL works.

Why do some keys stop working?

Providers rotate and revoke keys constantly, and shared keys hit their rate limits quickly. Keys are re-checked regularly. The 'verified' time on each row tells you when it last responded.

Can I use these keys in Cursor or Cline?

Yes. Add a custom provider or OpenAI-compatible provider in the tool's settings, paste the base URL and key, and pick a model. See the guides for step-by-step instructions.
