# Anyscale

> Connect an Anyscale service account key and your contracted credit rate to LevelFour.

Source: https://docs.levelfour.ai/connectors/anyscale


> **Warning**
>
> Anyscale bills in credits, not currency. This connector estimates dollars by multiplying credit usage by the rate you enter. It is only as accurate as that rate, and it will not reflect anything your contract prices differently.

## Prerequisites

* An Anyscale platform organization.
* An organization owner, to create a service account key. A personal API key also works but expires after at most 30 days by default and must be rotated; a service account key does not expire.
* Your contracted rate per Anyscale credit, in USD.

## Connect

### Create a service account key in Anyscale

As an organization owner, create a service account and generate its API key. Copy the key.

### Add it to LevelFour

Open **Connect Providers**, select **Anyscale**, and paste the key under **Service account API key**. Enter your contracted rate under **Rate per Anyscale credit (USD)**. Click **Add Service account API key**.

## Confirming it worked

The connection moves to **Connected**. Your first data appears within a day.

## Rotating or removing access

### Rotating the credential

Create a new service account key in Anyscale, paste it into **Connect Providers**, then revoke the old key.

### Removing access

Disconnect Anyscale under **Connect Providers**, then revoke the key from Anyscale.

| Spend does not match your invoice                    | This is an estimate: credits times the rate you entered. Anyscale itself labels this usage data as approximate, and it may differ from your final bill             |
| The key stops working after about a month            | A personal API key expires by default. Use a service account key instead, which does not expire                                                                    |
| Costs are missing for a customer-hosted (BYOC) cloud | Instance charges on a BYOC cloud may be billed directly by your cloud provider rather than through Anyscale credits. Check with Anyscale support if you are unsure |
