xAI Console

Developer console and API access for Grok models

About xAI Console

The xAI Console is the developer gateway to the Grok API, where teams create accounts, generate API keys, manage billing and monitor usage for xAI's models. Through the API, developers can call Grok language models for chat and reasoning, generate and edit images and video, transcribe and synthesize speech, and use server-side tools such as web search, X search and code execution. It targets developers building applications on xAI's OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
