ElevenLabs Provider

The ElevenLabs provider reads subscription usage from the ElevenLabs API using an API key.

Features

  • Character credit usage from the current subscription period.
  • Reset timing when the API returns next_character_count_reset_unix.
  • Voice slot and professional voice slot usage when those fields are present.
  • Plan/status text from the subscription response.

Setup

CLI

Store the API key without opening Settings:

bash
printf '%s' "$ELEVENLABS_API_KEY" | codexbar config set-api-key --provider elevenlabs --stdin

This trims the piped key, writes it to ~/.codexbar/config.json with restrictive permissions, and enables ElevenLabs by default. Use --no-enable to save the key without enabling the provider.

Settings

  1. Open Settings -> Providers
  2. Enable ElevenLabs
  3. Open https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys
  4. Create or copy an API key
  5. Paste the key into CodexBar's ElevenLabs provider settings

Environment Variables

CodexBar also accepts these environment variables:

  • ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
  • XI_API_KEY

For tests or self-hosted/proxy setups, override the API base URL with ELEVENLABS_API_URL.

How It Works

  • Endpoint: GET https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/user/subscription
  • Auth header: xi-api-key
  • Fields used: character_count, character_limit, voice_slots_used, voice_limit, professional_voice_slots_used, professional_voice_limit, tier, status, next_character_count_reset_unix

Troubleshooting

"Missing ElevenLabs API key"

Set the key with codexbar config set-api-key --provider elevenlabs --stdin, add it in Settings -> Providers -> ElevenLabs, set ELEVENLABS_API_KEY, or configure an ElevenLabs token account.

"ElevenLabs API error"

Confirm the API key is valid and that the current network can reach api.elevenlabs.io.
