# OpenClaw

> Configure OpenClaw through the OpenAI-compatible API

## Install

With Python 3.10+ installed, install and start the current OpenClaw release:

```bash theme={null}
pip install openclaw
openclaw
```

## Configure

Select OpenAI Compatible in interactive setup:

| Setting  | Value                               |
| -------- | ----------------------------------- |
| API Key  | `API_KEY`                           |
| Base URL | `https://api.bianxie.ai/v1`         |
| Model    | A model ID from the live model page |

If supported, export `OPENAI_API_KEY=API_KEY` and `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.bianxie.ai/v1` instead. Restart and request “Reply only with OK” before allowing project access. A `401` means the key was not loaded; `404` usually means `/v1` is missing; model errors require copying the exact live model ID.
