How to Set Your API Keys in SheetXAI (LTD)

Overview

Overview

If you’re on the LTD plan, you can plug in your own API keys so SheetXAI can run the chatbot and SAI operations using your providers.

Step-by-step: Add your API keys

Step 1: Open SheetXAI Settings

  • Open the SheetXAI sidebar
  • Click Settings

Step 2: Paste your API key(s)

Depending on what you’re using, you may set one or more of the following:

  • OpenAI (for OpenAI models)
  • OpenRouter (for OpenRouter models)
  • Straico (if you’re using Straico)
  • Any other supported provider shown in Settings

Step 3: Save, then confirm

  • Click Save
  • If the UI has a separate confirmation step, click Confirm Settings

Step 4: Verify it’s working

Try a simple request in the chatbot like:

  • “Summarize this sheet”
  • “Create a formula for column B that …”

If you’re using SAI formulas, test a single cell first before filling down.

Common issues

  • Key not saved: Make sure you clicked Save (and Confirm Settings if present).
  • Wrong tab: Some capabilities use different tabs (Default / Content / Image / URL / etc.). Set the key/provider in the relevant tab.
  • Leading/trailing spaces: Copy/paste keys carefully—spaces can break authentication.
