This documentation covers two authentication approaches for OpenAI access within the Codex platform.
Authentication Options
API Key Method: Users can configure direct API access through OpenAI's platform using usage-based billing. Setup requires obtaining credentials from the OpenAI dashboard and running the onboarding wizard with the appropriate flag.
ChatGPT Subscription Method: An alternative approach leverages existing ChatGPT or Codex subscriptions rather than direct API credentials. This method requires OAuth authentication through the Codex CLI or cloud interface.
Configuration Details
Both approaches require specifying a model reference in the format provider/model. Model refs always use provider/model.
Setup Process
The onboarding CLI accepts either direct API key input or interactive authentication selection. Users can bypass the interactive wizard by providing credentials as command-line arguments during setup.
openclaw onboard --auth-choice openai-api-key
Or with the API key directly:
openclaw onboard --openai-api-key "$OPENAI_API_KEY"
Config snippet
{
env: { OPENAI_API_KEY: "sk-..." },
agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "openai/gpt-4o" } } },
