🔑 Prerequisites
sk-...🚀 Connect OpenRely API
Choose the method that best matches your workflow:
If you are accessing an existing LibreChat web instance deployed by your team or community, you can start chatting immediately:
Option A: User-Provided API Keys
If the LibreChat instance allows users to provide their own API keys:
- Open and log in to your LibreChat site;
- Click User Profile / Settings in the bottom left ➔ Account / API Keys;
- Locate OpenRely or Custom Endpoints, and paste your API Key from the OpenRely console;
- Return to the chat window to select a model and begin chatting.
Option B: Pre-configured Endpoint
If the instance administrator has already configured OpenRely globally:
- In the chat window, click the Model Dropdown Menu at the top and select the OpenRely group;
- Choose your target model (reasoning, coding, or lightweight general models);
- Type your prompt to experience fast streaming responses and multimodal analysis!
If you manage your own LibreChat instance, simply declare the custom endpoint in your librechat.yaml:
version: 1.1.5
cache: true
endpoints:
custom:
- name: "OpenRely"
apiKey: "${OPENRELY_API_KEY}" # or your raw sk-... key
baseURL: "https://api.openrely.ai/v1"
models:
default: ["gpt", "claude", "gemini", "deepseek"]
fetch: true # dynamically fetch accessible models from /v1/models
titleConvo: true
titleModel: "gpt"
modelDisplayLabel: "OpenRely"
dropParams: ["stop"][!NOTE] If using the
${OPENRELY_API_KEY}environment variable, simply addOPENRELY_API_KEY=sk-your_key_hereto your.envfile and restart the instance. No complex setup required!
