ApiPass keeps the setup simple: point Grok CLI at ApiPass once, use your normal terminal workflow, and track Grok Build token billing from one dashboard.
Start in 60 Seconds
Create an ApiPass API key, add it to your Grok CLI config, and start using Grok Build through ApiPass without opening a separate xAI account.
50% of Official Token Prices
Input, output, and cache read tokens are billed at half the listed xAI official rate, so costs stay easy to compare against direct billing.
No xAI Account Purchase
You do not need to buy, lease, or manage a separate xAI account to use Grok Build. Your ApiPass API key connects to the endpoint directly.
Transparent Token Billing
Each Grok Build request is itemized by model and token type, so you can review credit deductions and compare costs against official token rates.
Team-Friendly Keys
Teams can route Grok CLI usage through one ApiPass key and keep usage records, credit deductions, and billing in one place.
Security by Default
Keys are controlled from your ApiPass account, and credentials used to reach Grok Build are protected at rest with encrypted storage.
Three Steps to Half-Price Setup
Create Your ApiPass API Key
Sign in to ApiPass, create an API key, and keep it ready for your Grok CLI configuration.
# ApiPass Dashboard $ API Keys > Create New Key $ Copy: <your-apipass-api-key>
Point Grok CLI to ApiPass
Set the ApiPass base URL and your API key inside ~/.grok/config.toml. Your day-to-day Grok CLI workflow stays the same. Replace api-key with your copied key and do not append /responses to the base URL.
# ~/.grok/config.toml [cli] installer = "internal" [models] default = "grok-4.5" web_search = "grok-4.5" [endpoints] models_base_url = "https://api.apipass.dev/grok-build/v1" [model."grok-4.5"] model = "grok-4.5" name = "Grok 4.5" description = "Grok 4.5 ApiPass" api_key = "api-key" api_backend = "responses" context_window = 1000000
Run Grok Build at 50% Token Pricing
Each Grok CLI request is processed through ApiPass and billed with input, output, and cache read token rates cut in half.
$ grok inspect > Grok CLI configured for "Grok 4.5" > Endpoint: https://api.apipass.dev/grok-build/v1 > Billed at 50% of official Grok Build token rates
