How to get your ChatGPT API key

Hopper TeamOctober 16, 20255 min read

To start using Hopper as your wrist AI assistant, you will first need to add an OpenAI API key. An API key is your unique access pass, enabling advanced AI features directly on your wrist. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to create your key and link it to Hopper.

Step 1: Create your OpenAI account

First things first, you need an OpenAI account. Go to the OpenAI platform and sign up here.

Step 2: Generate your secret API key

Once you're logged in, go to 'Settings' or click on the gear (⚙️) icon on the top right section.

OpenAI Platform Settings

In Settings, you can generate your key in the "API Keys" section in the left-hand menu here.

OpenAI Platform Dashboard

  • Click on "+ Create new secret key".
  • Give it a memorable name (e.g., "HopperKey") to easily identify its purpose later. After entering a name, click "Create secret key".

Create API Key Dialog

  • On the next screen, your unique API key will be displayed. It's important that you copy this key immediately and store it in a secure place. For security reasons, you will not be able to view the full key again through the OpenAI website.

Step 3: Set up billing details

To activate your new API key, you must set up a payment method.

Under Settings, select "Billing" from the left-hand menu and click "Add to credit balance."

Add an initial credit and set up automatic recharges if you prefer. Provide your payment information as prompted.
