- In a `.env` file

## OpenAI and Anthropic
Aider has special support for providing
OpenAI and Anthropic API keys
via dedicated switches and configuration options.
Settings keys for other providers works a bit differently, see below.
#### Command line
You can set OpenAI and Anthropic API keys via
[command line switches](/docs/config/options.html#api-keys-and-settings)
`--openai-api-key` and `--anthropic-api-key`.
You can also set those API keys via special entries in the
[yaml config file](/docs/config/aider_conf.html), like this:
```yaml
openai-api-key: <key>
anthropic-api-key: <key>
```
#### Environment variables or .env file
You can also store them in environment variables or a
[.env file](/docs/config/dotenv.html), which also works

## Other API providers
All other LLM providers can use one of these other methods to set their API keys.
### API keys on the command line
#### Command line
{: .no_toc }
Use `--api-key provider=<key>` which has the effect of setting the environment variable `PROVIDER_API_KEY=<key>`. So `--api-key gemini=xxx` would set `GEMINI_API_KEY=xxx`.
### API keys in .aider.conf.yml
#### Environment variables or .env file
{: .no_toc }
You can set API keys in environment variables.
The [.env file](/docs/config/dotenv.html)
is a great place to store your API keys and other provider API environment variables:
```bash
GEMINI_API_KEY=foo
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=bar
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=baz
```
#### Yaml config file
You can also set API keys in the
[`.aider.conf.yml` file](/docs/config/aider_conf.html)
via the `api-key` entry:
