What Julia will ask you for

API key Starts with sk-

If something goes wrong

The key is shown ONCE. If you closed the page without copying it, delete that key and make a new one -- you cannot look the old one up.

If it says the key is wrong: copy it again and check there is no space at the start or end. A key pasted from an email often picks one up.

If it says billing or quota: add a payment method on the provider's own site. Julia cannot add credit on your behalf.
