# xAI API Key (Grok)

### Step 1: Sign Up or Log In to xAI

1. Navigate to [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/).
2. If you don’t have an account:
   * Click **Sign Up** and provide your email address, password, and other required details.
   * Verify your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox.
3. If you have an account, click **Sign In** and log in using your credentials or authenticate via your X (Twitter) or Google account.

### Step 2: Create a Team

1. After logging in, you’ll be prompted to create a team (required for API access).
2. Enter a **Team Name** and a brief **Description**.
3. Click **Create Team**. You can skip inviting team members if working solo.
4. Once created, you’ll be redirected to the xAI Console dashboard.

### Step 3: (Optional) Purchase API Credits

1. During the public beta (until the end of 2024), xAI provides $25 in free monthly API credits, so you may not need to purchase credits immediately.
2. If you need additional credits:
   * Go to the **Billing** section in the xAI Console.
   * Click **Credits** and select **Purchase Credits**.
   * Set up your billing profile and payment method, then purchase the desired amount of credits.
   * Note: Teams spending at least $5 and opting into data sharing may be eligible for $150 in monthly free credits (check country eligibility).

### Step 4: Generate an API Key

1. From the xAI Console dashboard, navigate to the **API Keys** section.
2. Click the **Create API Key** button. A dialog window will open to customize permissions (Access Control Lists or ACLs).
3. Select the appropriate permissions:
   * For general Grok access (e.g., chat completions), choose **chat:write**.
   * For raw Grok-1 model sampling, choose **sampler:write**.
   * Note: Permissions affect token usage, so select only what you need.
4. Click **Save** to generate the API key.
5. The new API key will appear in the list. Click the **Copy** button to save it securely.

### Step 5: Paste API Key in Stammer.ai Vault

1. Log in to your Stammer.ai dashboard.
2. Go to **Agency → Vault → OpenAI API Key**.
3. Paste your Grok API key.
4. Click **Verify & Save**.

Run a quick test chat. If the reply comes back, you are set.
