Can I use my own API key?

Yes, with the Intelligence reports add-on or a Team Intelligence plan. Under Preferences > Intelligence > Platforms, click Use own API key on OpenAI, Mistral or Claude (Anthropic), paste your key and click Save key. Requests on that platform then run on your account with the provider, and you can pick the model. Which AI platforms does Inoreader support? describes the three platforms.

Add a key

1. Click the gear in the tab bar and open Intelligence.
2. Open the Platforms tab.
3. On OpenAI, Mistral or Claude (Anthropic), click Use own API key.
4. Follow the link in the Add API key dialog to create a key with the provider, paste it into API key and click Save key.
5. Select that platform's card if it isn't selected yet.

Inoreader checks the key by listing the provider's models, and a key that fails shows "Invalid API key" so you can check it and try again. If the provider account behind the key has no billing set up, the card says so and links to the provider's billing page.

Pick a model or remove the key

After you save a key, the card shows Settings: the first 3 and last 4 characters of the key, a Model list with the provider's chat models suited to summaries, and Remove your API key. Choosing a model saves at once, and removing the key puts the platform back on Inoreader's account and its default model.

Requests on your key

Your key handles the selected platform's requests: article summaries and questions, rules that summarize, AI summaries in email digests, Intelligence reports and automated reports. Reports run on your key don't count toward your monthly Intelligence tokens, while article summaries and questions still do. Suggested tags, podcast and video enhancements and the AI overview on a mention's page never use your key.

Keys in a Team

On a Team plan, the team owner adds a key under Manage team > Intelligence settings, and every member uses it while the Team card is selected. A member who wants a key of their own needs their own Intelligence reports access, as Can my Team have a default AI platform and model? explains.

Plans

Your own key comes with the Intelligence reports add-on, 19.99 a month before VAT with 5M Intelligence tokens a month, or with a Team Intelligence plan. Pro accounts without the add-on see Purchase add-on on the Platforms tab. Are Intelligence reports available in all plans? covers the plans, and the Intelligence page the whole feature.
