# Daily Free API Key — Y-API

> A free API key for everyone: $20 of shared credit every day, reset at 00:05 UTC. Log in, copy the key, call any model in the catalog.

This is the markdown representation of https://y-api.bestvirtualgoods.com/daily-key. The shared pool size and rotation time are build-time facts; remaining credit, claim count and the list of models the key can call are runtime state (the model list is read live from the upstream catalog). Generated by `scripts/generate-seo-assets.mjs` from the same copy the page renders — do not edit by hand.

One free API key, shared by the whole site. $20 of credit is refilled every day at 00:05 UTC — log in, copy today’s key, and drop it into any OpenAI-compatible client.

- Free — $20 of credit every day
- One key shared by the whole site
- New key daily at 00:05 UTC

## How to use it

1. Log in with GitHub or Google — today’s key shows up right here.

2. Copy the key and the base URL into any OpenAI-compatible SDK, app, or CLI. Every model in the catalog works.

3. The pool is shared, so it drains as the site uses it. Come back after 00:05 UTC for a fresh key and a fresh $20.

## The ground rules

- One key a day for the whole site — the $20 pool is shared by everyone, first come, first served.

- No per-request cap: the daily pool is the only limit, and heavier models burn through it faster.

- Keys expire at rotation (00:05 UTC) — the moment today’s key goes live, yesterday’s stops working.

- Need a quota that is guaranteed and yours alone? Grab a personal key below.

## Want a key that’s yours alone?

Every account gets its own key plus $1 of starter credit — no daily race, no shared pool.
