Connect OpenAI developer API to AI Token Spend Management
Overview
Connect OpenAI developer API so Ramp can import your API cost and usage data into AI Token Spend Management. You can connect automatically with Ramp for Chrome or manually with an Admin API key.
Note: Provider setup is the same whether your business has a standalone AI Token Spend Management account or a core Ramp account.
Before you connect OpenAI developer API
You must belong to an OpenAI Platform organization. Personal accounts cannot connect.
Business Admins, Owners, IT Admins, and users with the AI Token Spend Admin Custom Role can connect providers for core Ramp accounts. Owners and Admins can connect providers for standalone accounts. If you do not have one of these roles, ask someone who does to connect the provider.
Connect automatically with Ramp for Chrome
This option is available only when automatic setup is enabled for your business, you use a supported browser with Ramp for Chrome installed, and you have permission to administer AI Token Spend Management. If you have permission to administer AI Token Spend Management but do not see Connect automatically, use the manual Admin API key instructions instead.
- Install Ramp for Chrome.
- Open Connect OpenAI developer API in Ramp.
- Select Connect automatically. If you are an OpenAI Platform admin, Ramp creates the API key. Otherwise, Ramp identifies your admins and emails them instructions.

Connect manually with an Admin API key
-
Open OpenAI Admin API keys and select Create admin key.
-
Give the key a descriptive name and set its expiration.

-
Copy the key, open Connect OpenAI developer API in Ramp, paste the key, and select Connect.
