# Providers and models: how to get API keys

If you need to use external providers for your AIsuru Agents, this section will guide you through the process of registering and setting up accounts on each platform. Properly managing your providers and models will help you **keep the costs and availability of your** [**AIsuru**](https://www.aisuru.com/) **Agents under control at all times**!

Here you'll find specific guides for:

* [OpenAI Platform](/en/generative-ai/advanced/providers-api-keys/openai-api-account-setup-guide.md);
* [Anthropic Claude Console](/en/generative-ai/advanced/providers-api-keys/claude-console-managing-anthropic-api-keys.md);
* [Mistral AI Studio](/en/generative-ai/advanced/providers-api-keys/mistral-api-managing-ai-studio-models.md);
* [Azure OpenAI](/en/generative-ai/advanced/providers-api-keys/azure-ai-foundry-openai-models-access-and-costs.md) (for OpenAI models).

Each guide will walk you through the key steps from start to finish: creating your account, adding billing details, setting up a payment method, and generating the API keys you need to integrate with AIsuru. You'll also find information on how to set spending limits, manage team members, and optimize your use of each service.

Once you have your API key from your chosen provider, you can use it to [create a new model](/en/generative-ai/advanced/create-and-manage-model-configurations.md) on the platform and immediately start taking advantage of the different providers for your Agents! 🚀

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aisuru.com/en/generative-ai/advanced/providers-api-keys.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
