This page covers everything between arriving at OpenType and having a funded organization you can create API keys in: signing up, verifying your email, the free credit, the ways to sign in, and choosing an organization. It is for anyone setting up OpenType for the first time, or signing in on a new device. Sign-up is open to anyone; you do not need an invitation.

Sign up

1

Open the sign-up page

Go to console.opentype.dev/sign-up and fill in the Create a free account form.
2

Fill in the form

A password that appears in a known breach is refused, even if it is long enough. Pick another one.
3

Verify your email

Follow the instructions in the verification email. Verifying does two things:
  • It confirms you own the address.
  • It adds $5 of free credit to your organization.
4

Sign in

Sign in to the console. A welcome callout confirms the credit: Welcome. $X of credit is on your account., with your current balance in place of $X.

What you get

$5 goes a long way. The three-question run in the quickstart costs 19 micro-USD, so the grant covers more than 250,000 runs like it. Each run needs $0.02 of available credit to start, because it holds that amount until it finishes; see Models and pricing. When the credit runs out, runs are refused with 402 insufficient_credits until you buy credits or turn on auto-recharge.

Sign in

The console offers four ways to sign in.

Reset a forgotten password

Choose Forgot password? on the sign-in form and follow the instructions sent to your email address. If you only need to get in once, Email me a code instead works without a password.

Choose an organization

After you sign in, the console needs to know which organization you are working in.
  • You belong to several. The Choose an organization screen lists them. Pick the one you want to work in.
  • You belong to none. The console shows Your account has no organization yet and leads to the Create organization form. Create one to continue.
