Connect xAI

xAI is the company behind the Grok family of models, served through the xAI API. The xAI integration imports your team's daily rated cost and usage data into DoiT Cloud Intelligence so you can analyze Grok API spend in Cloud Analytics.

Prerequisites

• An xAI team with access to the xAI Console.

• A DoiT account with the Billing Profiles Admin permission.

Required credentials

Field	Description	Where to find it
Team ID	Your xAI team identifier (a UUID)	xAI Console > Settings
Management API Key	A management key with read access to billing	xAI Console > Settings > Management Keys

Management key required

Inference API keys (the keys you use to call Grok models) do not work for this integration — xAI's billing data is only served by its Management API, which rejects inference keys. You must create a dedicated management key.

Create a management key

1. Sign in to the xAI Console and open Settings > Management Keys.

2. Select Create Management Key and give it a descriptive name.

3. Under Access, set Billing to Read only. Leave every other endpoint at No access.

4. Leave the Allowed IP Address list empty. DoiT ingests your data from a pool of egress addresses, so restricting the key to a single IP address causes intermittent connection failures.

5. Select Save and copy the key.

   Caution

   The key is only shown once. Make sure to copy it before closing the dialog.

Connect your xAI team

1. Sign in to Cloud Intelligence, select Data ingestion and integrations > Integrations from the top navigation mega menu.

2. Search for xAI in the integrations catalog.

3. Select Connect + on the integration card.

4. Enter your Team ID and Management API Key.

5. Select Test connection to verify DoiT can access your xAI team.

6. If the test is successful, select Save to complete the setup.

   If the test fails or you need further assistance, please open an expert inquiry.

Note

Upon initial connection, DoiT imports up to 180 days of historical xAI cost data. The import process can take a few hours. You'll receive an email when the data is available in Cloud Analytics.

Data refresh

DoiT refreshes your xAI billing data every six hours at daily granularity.

Reporting dimensions

Once connected, xAI data maps to the following standard Cloud Analytics dimensions:

Cloud Analytics dimension	xAI value	Example
Provider	xAI	xAI
Billing Account	Team ID	0000...-0000
Service	Grok API	Grok API
SKU	Product-prefixed model	API grok-4.3

In addition to standard dimensions, the following xAI-specific labels are available:

Label	Description
Model	The model that generated the charge
Usage Type	Billable unit, normalized across AI providers (e.g., input_tokens, reasoning_output_tokens)
Cached	Whether the tokens were served from prompt cache
Region	The xAI cluster that served the requests (e.g., us-west-2)
API Key	The team API key that incurred the charge, by display name
