Questions
Is there an official 8bot or 8os plugin for VS Code? Not from Pax8 at the time of writing. This extension is independent and is not affiliated with Pax8. It is available on the VS Code Marketplace.
Where do I get an 8os API key? From your provider, or from BUY IT.
Does this control my deployed 8bot agents? No. It uses the 8os model endpoints. Agent deployments in 8os need a Pax8 login.
Which endpoint does it use?
OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions at https://api.8os.com.
Is my code sent anywhere? Your messages and any files the agent reads go to the gateway you configured, and from there to the selected model.
Troubleshooting
The gateway rejected your API key (401). Run 8bot: Enter Gateway and API Key and check both values.
This API key is disabled, or the account is suspended (403). Contact your provider.
Your spending or usage limit has been reached. Ask your provider to raise it, or get more from BUY IT.
8os models are not in the Chat model picker. Open Manage Models in the picker and enable 8os Agent Gateway.
