ai_api_key (empty) Encrypted in plugixarecipe_settings. Masked in the UI once saved.

Getting an API key

  • OpenAI — sign up at platform.openai.com, create a secret key, and paste it. The gpt-4o-mini model costs roughly $0.15/1M input tokens — a typical recipe generation is ~$0.002.
  • Google Gemini — get a free key at aistudio.google.com. gemini-1.5-flash is free for generous daily quotas.

Click Test Connection to verify the key without burning a full generation. Load Models queries the provider for the list of models your key can access.

Usage & quota

Each generation returns a completion cost in the response. Track total usage in your provider’s billing dashboard — Plugixa does not meter or cap spend itself.
