API Keys (BYOK)
Skopx supports Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), which lets you use your own Anthropic Claude API key instead of the built-in one. This gives you full control over usage and billing.
Why Use BYOK?
- Cost control. Pay Anthropic directly and track usage in your own dashboard.
- Higher limits. Your own API key may have higher rate limits depending on your Anthropic plan.
- Compliance. Some organizations require all API calls to go through their own accounts for audit purposes.
Setting Up Your API Key
- Go to Settings > API Keys.
- Click Add API Key.
- Paste your Anthropic API key (starts with
sk-ant-). - Click Save.
Skopx encrypts your key using AES-256 before storing it. The plain text key is never logged or visible after you save it.
How It Works
Once your key is saved, all AI queries in Skopx will use your Anthropic account instead of the default. This includes:
- Chat responses
- Document generation
- Insight analysis
- Agent tasks
Managing Your Key
- Update. Paste a new key to replace the existing one.
- Remove. Click Remove Key to switch back to the built-in Skopx key.
- Usage. Check your Anthropic dashboard at console.anthropic.com for detailed usage and billing.
Supported Providers
Currently, BYOK is available for:
- Anthropic Claude. All models (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku).
More providers may be added in the future based on demand.
Tips
- Use a dedicated API key for Skopx so you can track its usage separately.
- Set up usage alerts in your Anthropic account to avoid surprises.
- Your key is encrypted at rest and never shared with any third party.
