OpenAI credentials

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Notes
API Key apiKey	password	Yes	Your OpenAI API key (starts with sk-)
Organization ID organization	string	No	Optional organization ID for API requests

Getting your credentials

1. Sign in to the OpenAI platform at platform.openai.com with the account that should be billed.
2. Open the API keys section of your account settings.
3. Create a new secret key and give it a name that identifies where it will be used — for example busybot.
4. Copy the key immediately. It begins with sk- and is shown only once; if you lose it you must create another.
5. If your account belongs to several organizations, note the organization ID you want the usage billed to.

Permissions and scopes

API keys inherit the permissions of the account or project they belong to. If your OpenAI account supports project-scoped keys, create the key inside a project dedicated to BusyBot — that way usage is attributable and the key can be revoked without affecting anything else.

The Organization field is optional. Set it only when your account belongs to more than one organization and you need requests attributed to a specific one.

Troubleshooting

• 401 Unauthorized — the key is wrong, was revoked, or has a stray space from copying. Create a fresh key and paste it carefully.
• 429 with a quota message — this is billing, not rate limiting. API usage requires a payment method and available credit, separate from any ChatGPT subscription.
• Model not found — the account does not have access to the model selected on the node. Choose a model your account can use, or check model availability in your OpenAI account.
