Writingmate Integration
Connect Writingmate to LLM API for AI-powered capabilities
Writingmate is an AI writing assistant available as a browser extension and web app. It helps with content creation, editing, translation, and more, supporting custom API keys for direct model access.
Writingmate supports bring-your-own-key configurations.
Prerequisites
- An LLM API account with an API key
- Writingmate installed or accessible
Setup
Get Your LLM API Key
- Log in to your LLM API dashboard
- Click Create Key to Start
- Copy your new API key immediately — it will only be shown once
- Store the key securely (e.g., in a password manager or
.envfile)
LLM API is an OpenAI-compatible gateway that gives you access to dozens of AI models through a single API key and endpoint.
Configure LLM API in Writingmate
- Open Writingmate settings.
- Navigate to "API Keys" or "Model Settings".
- Select "Custom" or "OpenAI".
- Enter:
- API Key: paste the key you copied from app.llmapi.ai/api-keys
- Base URL: https://api.llmapi.ai/v1
- Click "Save".
Test the Integration
Verify that Writingmate can successfully communicate with LLM API by sending a test request. All requests will now be routed through LLM API.
Using your own key unlocks unlimited usage at your own API costs.
Benefits of Using LLM API with Writingmate
- Multi-Provider Access: Use models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more through a single API
- Cost Control: Track and limit your AI spending with detailed usage analytics
- Unified Billing: One account for all providers instead of managing multiple API keys
- Caching: Reduce costs with response caching for repeated requests
View all available models on the models page.
