So, what is an API key? API stands for Application Programming Interface, referring to a software interface through which two or more programs communicate. It is also sometimes used as an umbrella term to refer to standalone apps, particularly those on smartphones. As such, an API key is an alphanumeric key generated for your account for that application or service that, when provided to another person, allows them to use that application or service on your behalf.
In the case of ChatGPT, an API key is generated for your ChatGPT account and then made available to separate websites or applications that want to take advantage of ChatGPT’s features. Applications need your API key to use ChatGPT because without it they would need to pay for the same usage tokens to access ChatGPT servers. By making use of your account, the app saves money, and you can use ChatGPT through their service. It’s a win for everyone.
