Getting API Keys: OpenAI (ChatGPT), Claude, Gemini and Grok, Plus Free Options
🎧 Focus sounds
Soft beat sounds that many learners like while reading. Pick one, press Play, and keep studying.
Keep the volume low. These sounds are for comfort while studying, not a medical treatment. If you have epilepsy or are sensitive to pulsing sounds, use the background noise only.
In this lesson
To use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok from your own code, you need an API key: a long secret string that identifies your account and lets the provider bill you. This lesson walks through getting one from each major provider, the free options for learning, and the one rule you must never break.
