Connecting OpenAI brings your OpenAI spend into Harness Cloud & AI Cost Management alongside your cloud costs. The connector uses an Admin API key with read-only access to pull usage and cost data from your OpenAI account. You can analyze AI spend in Cost Explorer, attribute it with Views and Cost Categories, and govern it with budgets and anomaly detection, the same way you manage cloud costs.

Before You Begin​

OpenAI Admin API key: An Admin API key with read-only access from your OpenAI account. The key lets Harness ingest billing and usage data. Go to the OpenAI Admin API keys reference to create one.

Set Up the OpenAI Connector​

To connect OpenAI, go to Cloud & AI Cost Management > Account Settings > AI Providers and click AI Provider, and then select OpenAI.

Step 1: Name the Connector​

  1. On the Overview panel, enter a Name for the connector.
  2. Optionally, add a Description and Tags to organize and filter connectors.
  1. Click Continue.

Step 2: Add the Connector Details​

On the Connector Details panel, confirm the API endpoint and provide the OpenAI Admin API key as a Harness secret. Do the following:

  1. In the URL field, do not change the default https://api.openai.com/v1 unless you have a custom endpoint.

  2. In the API Key field, click Create or Select a Secret.

    • To use an existing secret, select it from the list, then click Apply Selected.

    • To add a new secret, click New Secret Text, enter a Secret Name, and provide your OpenAI Admin API key as the Secret Value.

      Go to Add and reference text secrets to review all secret creation options.

  3. Click Continue.

Step 3: Verify the Connection​

On the Connection Test panel, Harness validates the API key against your OpenAI account. Once the verification is successful, click Finish to create the connector.
