Provider Integrations

Connect an existing provider

Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, and other provider accounts so SuperPenguin can pull billed usage.

Customer teams connect provider admin credentials in the SuperPenguin dashboard so billed usage and cost can be synced for reconciliation and coverage checks.

Typical flow

  1. Open Integrations / Connections in the dashboard.
  2. Choose the provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Cursor, cloud billing connectors, and others as listed in-product).
  3. Follow the provider-specific credential steps (API key, OAuth, or cloud role).
  4. Wait for the initial backfill, then confirm recent billed rows appear.

Credentials are stored encrypted. SuperPenguin uses them only for read-oriented billing and usage syncs defined by that integration.

SDK vs connection

PathPurpose
SDK wrapPer-request attribution and estimated cost
Provider connectionProvider-billed usage/cost for reconciliation

You usually want both: the SDK for product attribution, and a connection for invoice truth.

Building a provider API instead?

If you are a provider implementing export endpoints for SuperPenguin (and other FinOps clients), go to Build a billing integration. That path is unrelated to pasting an admin API key into the dashboard.
