Aider integration
Aider API key setup
Aider workflows can grow expensive when requests loop or context gets large. Start with a scoped key so the first request stays reversible. NexRelay keeps the first test small and reversible.

Why this setup works
A dedicated Aider key keeps testing separate from production while NexRelay adds prepaid balance checks and request logs.
Recommended setup
Create one key per workflow, keep the model list narrow, and begin with trial credits.
- One key per Aider workflow
- Start with a small budget
- Keep the model list narrow
- Review the first log entry
What to verify
Confirm the first request appears in the ledger with the expected model, token count, and billed amount.
