Configure OpenClaw with CometAPI

Use CometAPI as the model provider for OpenClaw — 500+ models in one API, up to 20% off.

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 22 (recommend installing via nvm)

CometAPI API Key

1. Install OpenClaw

2. Configure Providers

CometAPI supports three API formats. Add one or more to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

Provider	API Format	Base URL
`cometapi-openai`	`openai-completions`	`https://api.cometapi.com/v1`
`cometapi-claude`	`anthropic-messages`	`https://api.cometapi.com`
`cometapi-google`	`google-generative-ai`	`https://api.cometapi.com/v1beta`

{
  "models": {
    "mode": "merge",
    "providers": {
      "cometapi-openai": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.cometapi.com/v1",
        "apiKey": "<YOUR_COMETAPI_KEY>",
        "api": "openai-completions",
        "models": [{ "id": "gpt-5.2", "name": "GPT-5.2" }]
      },
      "cometapi-claude": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.cometapi.com",
        "apiKey": "<YOUR_COMETAPI_KEY>",
        "api": "anthropic-messages",
        "models": [{ "id": "claude-opus-4-6", "name": "Claude Opus 4.6" }]
      },
      "cometapi-google": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.cometapi.com/v1beta",
        "apiKey": "<YOUR_COMETAPI_KEY>",
        "api": "google-generative-ai",
        "models": [{ "id": "gemini-3-pro-preview", "name": "Gemini 3 Pro" }]
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": { "primary": "cometapi-claude/claude-opus-4-6" }
    }
  },
  "auth": {
    "profiles": {
      "cometapi-openai:default": { "provider": "cometapi-openai", "mode": "api_key" },
      "cometapi-claude:default": { "provider": "cometapi-claude", "mode": "api_key" },
      "cometapi-google:default": { "provider": "cometapi-google", "mode": "api_key" }
    }
  }
}

Replace <YOUR_COMETAPI_KEY> with your API Key. All three providers use the same key.

You can add any model from the CometAPI Models Page to the corresponding provider.

3. Configure Auth Profiles

⚠️ Required! OpenClaw reads API keys from this file, not from openclaw.json. Skipping this causes HTTP 401 errors.

Create ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json:

{
  "version": 1,
  "profiles": {
    "cometapi-openai:default": {
      "type": "api_key",
      "provider": "cometapi-openai",
      "key": "<YOUR_COMETAPI_KEY>"
    },
    "cometapi-claude:default": {
      "type": "api_key",
      "provider": "cometapi-claude",
      "key": "<YOUR_COMETAPI_KEY>"
    },
    "cometapi-google:default": {
      "type": "api_key",
      "provider": "cometapi-google",
      "key": "<YOUR_COMETAPI_KEY>"
    }
  },
  "lastGood": {
    "cometapi-openai": "cometapi-openai:default",
    "cometapi-claude": "cometapi-claude:default",
    "cometapi-google": "cometapi-google:default"
  }
}

Restart the gateway:

4. Verify

All models should show Auth = yes:

Model                                        Auth
cometapi-openai/gpt-5.2                      yes
cometapi-claude/claude-opus-4-6              yes
cometapi-google/gemini-3-pro-preview         yes
