# Configure your API key
An API key is required for RAGFlow to interact with an online AI model. This guide provides information about setting your API key in RAGFlow.
## Get your API key
For now, RAGFlow supports the following online LLMs. Click the corresponding link to apply for your API key. Most LLM providers grant newly-created accounts trial credit, which will expire in a couple of months, or a promotional amount of free quota.

:::note
If you find your online LLM is not on the list, don't feel disheartened. The list is expanding, and you can [file a feature request](https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow/issues/new?assignees=&labels=feature+request&projects=&template=feature_request.yml&title=%5BFeature+Request%5D%3A+) with us! Alternatively, if you have customized or locally-deployed models, you can [bind them to RAGFlow using Ollama, Xinferenc, or LocalAI](./deploy_local_llm.mdx).

## Configure your API key
You have two options for configuring your API key:
- Configure it in **service_conf.yaml** before starting RAGFlow.
- Configure it on the **Model Providers** page after logging into RAGFlow.
### Configure API key before starting up RAGFlow
1. Navigate to **./docker/ragflow**.
2. Find entry **user_default_llm**:
- Update `factory` with your chosen LLM.
- Update `api_key` with yours.
- Update `base_url` if you use a proxy to connect to the remote service.
3. Reboot your system for your changes to take effect.
4. Log into RAGFlow.
*After logging into RAGFlow, you will find your chosen model appears under **Added models** on the **Model Providers** page.*
### Configure API key after logging into RAGFlow
:::caution WARNING
After logging into RAGFlow, configuring API key through the **service_conf.yaml** file will no longer take effect.
:::
After logging into RAGFlow, you can *only* configure API Key on the **Model Providers** page:
1. Click on your logo on the top right of the page **>** **Model Providers**.
2. Find your model card under **Models to be added** and click **Add the model**:

3. Paste your API key.
4. Fill in your base URL if you use a proxy to connect to the remote service.
5. Click **OK** to confirm your changes.
