How to get and configure your ChainGPT API key and credits for AgenticOS

Why you need an API key

AgenticOS generates tweets using ChainGPT AI, so a ChainGPT API key is required. Credits are consumed only when the agent generates content.

Add your key and credits to AgenticOS

Copy the example environment file and fill in your credentials:

cp .env.example .env

In your AgenticOS .env file, set your ChainGPT API key as the CHAINGPT_API_KEY variable. This is configured alongside your X/Twitter credentials: TWITTER_API_KEY, TWITTER_API_SECRET, TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN, and TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET.

Generation costs 1 credit per generated tweet, so keep a sufficient credit balance for your posting volume. High-frequency posting adds up.
