BYOK: Use Your Own API Keys with Vincony's Interface — Zero Credit Cost
Already paying for OpenAI or Anthropic directly? Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) lets you use Vincony's full interface — multi-model chat, batch processing, prompt tools — without spending a single credit.
What Is BYOK?
Bring Your Own Key means you can plug your existing API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, or any supported provider directly into Vincony. When you use those models, requests go through your key — no Vincony credits consumed. You still get the full Vincony experience: unified interface, prompt history, batch tools, and multi-model features.
How to Set It Up
Navigate to Settings → API Keys in your Vincony dashboard and add your provider keys. They're encrypted at rest and never logged.
import vincony
# Use your own OpenAI key — zero Vincony credits
client = vincony.Client(
api_key="YOUR_VINCONY_KEY",
byok={
"openai": "sk-your-openai-key",
"anthropic": "sk-ant-your-key"
}
)
# This uses YOUR OpenAI quota, not Vincony credits
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-5",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)When to Use BYOK vs Credits
Use BYOK if you have existing enterprise agreements or volume discounts with providers. Use Vincony credits for models you don't have direct access to, or when you want simplified billing. Many teams use a hybrid approach — BYOK for their primary model and credits for everything else.
Security
Your API keys are encrypted with AES-256 at rest, transmitted over TLS, and never included in logs or analytics. You can revoke access at any time from your dashboard. Vincony is SOC 2 compliant and undergoes regular security audits.
