To connect your own API keys in Clay, go to workspace settings and find the integration you'd like to update. You can also access your Clay API key by clicking your profile picture, selecting Settings, then navigating to Your Profile section. Cost: Using your own API keys is free - you won't be charged Clay credits when you bring your own API subscriptions. However, you need at least Clay's Starter plan ($149/mo) to use your own API keys - this feature isn't available on the free plan. Without your own API keys, Clay charges 2 credits per enrichment when using Clay-managed accounts.
Hey Avi M., I helped a client set this up recently. Basically:
Sign up for an account on https://platform.openai.com/
Top up at least 51 USD and wait 7 days to hit Tier 2 on OpenAI to avoid limitation on Clay
If OpenAI doesn't automatically upgrade you to Tier 2 within 7 days, head to OpenAI chat and ask them to manually push you to tier 2.
DM-ed you a video I sent to that client for reference. Hope it helps you!
Thanks for sharing those helpful setup steps! You're absolutely right about the OpenAI API requirements. For reliable OpenAI integration with Clay, you need Tier 2 API access which requires: ** 30,000 TPM for ChatGPT columns ** 450,000 TPM for Claygent The steps you outlined are correct - after adding at least $51 to your OpenAI account and waiting 7 days, you should automatically reach Tier 2. If not, contacting OpenAI support for manual upgrade works well. Using your own API keys saves Clay credits entirely - you won't be charged when using your own subscriptions, though you need at least our Starter plan ($149/mo) to connect personal API keys.
Go to Clay Settings API & Webhooks. Copy your API key. Use it in your tool (Zapier, Make, Postman, or custom scripts) to push/pull data. Cost: No extra charge to use the API. You’ll only use credits when enrichments or AI steps run.
That's correct! You can find your API key by going to your profile picture in the top navigation, selecting Settings, then navigating to Your Profile section. However, Clay doesn't offer exposed API endpoints for direct querying outside our interface. Instead, you can send data to Clay via webhooks and use our HTTP API integration to push data to external services. For programmatic use: send input data to webhooks, process it in Clay, then use HTTP API to output results to other tools. Using webhooks to import data is free.
Thank you, do I have to sign up for Clay subscrition to get the API?
Yes, you need a paid Clay subscription to use API features. Using your own API keys for data enrichment tools requires at least the Starter plan ($149/mo). Other features like HTTP API are only enabled with the Explorer plan. You can find your Clay API key by going to your profile picture, selecting Settings, then Your Profile section.
