OpenAI support is in Beta. To enroll, request access from your Cloud Capital Customer Success Manager. Once your account is enabled, OpenAI appears as an option on the New Integration page. If you don’t see it yet, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.
Cloud Capital reads your OpenAI Platform organization API spend (projects, models, line items) from OpenAI’s Admin Costs APIs. You paste an OpenAI Admin API key; the key is encrypted and stored on the integration. This path is forecast-only. Setup takes about 5 minutes once you have an Admin API key.

​
What Cloud Capital accesses

Cloud Capital uses the key only to read cost data. Ordinary inference keys cannot call Admin APIs and will fail the connection test. This integration does not enable commitment purchasing or billing transfer.

What’s available with OpenAI today

​
Before you begin

  • Choose this for Platform org API spend — Usage billed in the OpenAI organization dashboard (projects, models, line items).
  • Admin API key — Create an Admin key in the OpenAI organization dashboard. Ordinary inference / project keys cannot call Admin APIs.
  • Not covered here — ChatGPT Team or Enterprise seats. OpenAI usage billed through AWS Marketplace stays on your AWS integration — connecting both paths for the same spend can double-count.
  • Grain — Costs are daily. There is no per-user dollar breakout from this API.
This integration covers OpenAI Platform organization API spend only. It does not import ChatGPT Team or Enterprise seats. Keep AWS Marketplace-billed OpenAI usage on your AWS integration to avoid double-counting, and expect daily organization costs rather than per-user dollar totals.

​
Setup

1

Create a new integration in Cloud Capital

In Cloud Capital, go to the Integrations page — from Cost Allocation, use Manage Cloud Providers. Click Create New Integration and choose OpenAI.The new integration opens on the Integration Settings page. Give it a descriptive name.OpenAI Integration Settings with Admin API key field
2

Create an Admin API key in OpenAI

In the OpenAI platform dashboard, open your organization settings and create an Admin API key (not a standard project or inference key).Copy the key once at creation time.
See OpenAI’s Admin API documentation for how Admin keys differ from project API keys.
3

Paste the key and test the connection

On the Integration Settings page:
  1. Paste the Admin API key into the OpenAI Admin API key field.
  2. Click Test Connection. Cloud Capital verifies it can reach OpenAI projects and organization costs with this Admin key (the same Costs API the nightly load uses).
  3. After a successful test, set status to Enabled and click Save.
You must complete a successful connection test before you can enable a new integration. To rotate a key later, paste a new key and re-test; leave the field blank to keep the stored key.

​
What to expect after setup

  • Data timing — Cost data is ingested on a scheduled nightly cycle. Expect dashboards within about 24 hours of a successful connection.
  • Daily grain — OpenAI costs land at daily resolution; there is no per-user dollar breakout from this Admin Costs path.
  • Forecast only — Commitment purchasing and billing transfer are not part of this integration.
  • Cost allocation — After ingest, OpenAI spend can appear in forecasting and cost insights. Mapping behavior for agentic providers may differ from AWS linked accounts; start from Cost Insights once data is present.
