Provider Integrations
ProxAI supports a wide range of AI providers. There are two ways to configure your API keys:
Option 1: ProxDash Provider Connections (Recommended)
Store all your provider API keys in ProxDash and use a single key to access them all.
- Add your provider API keys at Provider Connections
- Get your ProxDash API key from API Keys
- Set the
PROXDASH_API_KEYenvironment variable:
export PROXDASH_API_KEY="your-proxdash-api-key"ProxAI will automatically fetch all your provider keys from your dashboard.
Option 2: Direct API Keys
Set each provider's API key directly as environment variables. No ProxDash account required.
Important: Use the exact environment key names from the table below. Third-party provider packages require these specific key names.
Add the API keys to your ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc etc. files:
export OPENAI_API_KEY="...";
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="...";
...After adding the API key, you need to restart your terminal or run:
source ~/.zshrc;- Add at least one API key to your environment variables.
- For Google Colab, check the Google Colab Example page.
