| Use OpenAI via API keys or Codex subscription in Clawdbot |
|
OpenAI
OpenAI provides developer APIs for GPT models. Codex supports ChatGPT sign-in for subscription access or API key sign-in for usage-based access. Codex cloud requires ChatGPT sign-in.
Option A: OpenAI API key (OpenAI Platform)
Best for: direct API access and usage-based billing. Get your API key from the OpenAI dashboard.
CLI setup
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice openai-api-key
# or non-interactive
clawdbot onboard --openai-api-key "$OPENAI_API_KEY"
Config snippet
{
env: { OPENAI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "openai/gpt-5.2" } } }
}
Option B: OpenAI Code (Codex) subscription
Best for: using ChatGPT/Codex subscription access instead of an API key. Codex cloud requires ChatGPT sign-in, while the Codex CLI supports ChatGPT or API key sign-in.
CLI setup
# Run Codex OAuth in the wizard
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice openai-codex
# Or run OAuth directly
clawdbot models auth login --provider openai-codex
Config snippet
{
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "openai-codex/gpt-5.2" } } }
}
Notes
- Model refs always use
provider/model(see /concepts/models). - Auth details + reuse rules are in /concepts/oauth.
