Quick start

This guide takes you from account setup to your first UniKey model request.

Official access URL​

Use the official UniKey website:

https://www.getunikey.ai/

Before logging in, creating API keys, or topping up, confirm that the address bar shows the official UniKey domain.

1. Log in​

Users can choose their preferred login method.

Supported login methods​

  • Web3 Wallet Login: Connect a supported wallet and complete authentication via wallet signature.
  • Centralized Account Login: Log in using supported account methods such as Google Login. More login options will be continuously expanded in the future.

Login steps​

  1. Visit the UniKey chat platform.
  2. Click the Log in button in the upper right corner of the page.
  3. Select your preferred login method.
  4. Follow the page prompts to complete authorization and enter the platform.

2. Top up AI Credits​

UniKey uses a prepaid AI Credits balance for model usage. You can top up your balance at Top up AI Credits. The conversion rule is:

$1 = 10,000 AI Credits

Credits are deducted according to the selected model, token usage, cache usage, and any per-use features such as web search.

3. Create an API key​

Go to Create API Key in the UniKey console to generate an API key, and keep it in an environment variable:

export UNIKEY_API_KEY="sk-..."

4. Send a request​

curl -X POST https://www.getunikey.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $UNIKEY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.2",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Say hello from UniKey."}
    ],
    "stream": false
  }'

5. Track usage​

Go to Track Usage to review model calls, token counts, Credits consumed, and response times. For production workloads, set request budgets in your application before enabling autonomous agent loops.
