BeatAPI (BYOK)
How to create an API key for BeatAPI and add it to AnyRouter via Bring Your Own Key.
BeatAPI is a supported BYOK provider. Bring your own API key string, and AnyRouter routes your requests through it — no platform credits are charged for BYOK-backed calls. This provider has a free tier or free credits — a good place to start.
Get your API key
- Sign in to the BeatAPI console.
- Open the API keys / credentials section and create a new key.
- Copy the key immediately — most providers show it only once.
Gotchas
Free -free models allow one successful request per minute until your first BeatAPI top-up, then up to ten.
Add it to AnyRouter
- Go to Dashboard → BYOK.
- Find BeatAPI under Available and click Add key.
- Paste your key into the API key field.
- Create key: BeatAPI console
- Default base URL (editable on the key form):
https://direct.beatapi.io/v1
- Click Save. AnyRouter runs a live validation call against BeatAPI before storing the key — if it fails, the dialog shows the upstream error and the key isn't saved.
