Nb:  This tutorial has been created the 5th February 2025 and screenshots may have changed… 

1. Sign Up or Log In to OpenAI


First go to OpenAI's website , if you don't have an account just sign up.

💶 You will need to add a payment method in the sign up process (they changed that recently). You can start with 5$ which will more than enough to start.
 
I strongly encourage you to set up usage limits.
If you use this key only for datascrape.ai you won't need a lot !  
 

Once logging you should the following screen 👇

open ai screen to add a new key



Then click on + Create a new secret key

A modal will be open, give the key a lovely name like the name like my company key.

Leave the other fields as they are unless you know what you are doing 😉

Click on Create secret key ✅


Then you will see the key displayed.

 
Click Copy and save it somewhere safe.It will be the last time you see it. (don’t worry you can create new keys or revoke keys if necessary)

Now that it is done, a CRUCIAL step. Set up usage limits.
⚠️ By default, OpenAI can charge you up to 120$/month. That’s a lot 🙀
