# Atlas Cloud — Bring Your Own Key

Route requests through your own Atlas Cloud account ([BYOK](/features/byok)); no platform credits are charged. You need a API key string.

## Get your API key

1. Sign in to the Atlas Cloud console.
2. Create a new API key and copy it now; most providers show it once.

## Add it to AnyRouter

1. Open **[Dashboard → BYOK](https://anyrouter.dev/dashboard/byok)**, find **Atlas Cloud** under **Available** and click **Add key**.
2. Paste the key.
3. Click **Save**. AnyRouter validates the key against Atlas Cloud first; on failure the dialog shows the upstream error and nothing is saved.

- Create key: [Atlas Cloud console](https://www.atlascloud.ai/console/api-keys)
