# Registering New Platforms: Automating API Key Setup

Registering on a new platform requires at least: opening the webpage, filling in email and password, switching to Gmail to find verification code, pasting it back, finding the API key page, creating it, and copying it. One platform takes 5 minutes, ten platforms takes the whole morning.

Built a Claude Code Skill where I just tell it "help me register xxx" and it handles the rest.

Two-layer architecture:

**First layer: leveraging login state** — inject cookies directly from Chrome
Playwright doesn't need to re-login for already-logged-in services. About 200 lines of Python

**Second layer: fully automated registration** — Playwright form-filling + Gmail API
Reads verification codes automatically, don't even need to open verification emails myself

Used this for Mistral, Together AI, Firecrawl — never even looked at the verification codes myself.
