What is Bring Your Own Keys?

Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) allows you to use your personal API keys from various providers with Requesty. This feature gives you more flexibility and control over which services you connect to.
  • Add keys from multiple providers
  • Use your own keys in fallback policies
  • Track key usage across your organization

​
How It Works

  1. Go to Bring Your Own Keys in your dashboard
  2. Select a provider to add your key (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
  3. Enter your API key and accept the terms and conditions
  4. Use your added keys in fallback policies
  5. Use your fallback policy as your model ID

​
Supported Providers

Requesty currently supports adding your own keys for these providers:
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Google AI Studio
  • xAI
More providers will be added over time based on user requests. Important notes:
  • Google doesn’t include Vertex, BYOKs on Vertex are not supported yet
  • You can set at most one key per provider

​
Using Your Keys in Policies

Once you’ve added your keys, you can use them in fallback policies:
  1. Go to the API Keys section
  2. Select “Configure” for the API key you want to modify
  3. Create a new policy (or edit existing one)
  4. Select your preferred models and add fallback options
  5. Choose between Requesty’s keys or your own keys for each model

​
Benefits

  • Flexibility: Use your existing API accounts and billing
  • Fallback Options: Create robust policies with multiple fallback paths
  • Organizational Tracking: See which team members added or updated keys
  • Cost Control: Use your own billing relationships with providers

​
Quick Start

  1. Add your API keys from supported providers
  2. Create a policy that uses Requesty’s services as primary
  3. Set up fallbacks to use your own keys when needed
  4. Apply the policy to your API key
  5. Start making API calls with your fallback policy as your model ID
Using your own keys is especially useful for accessing free tier models from providers like Google or for utilizing specific model versions you already have access to.
