# Environment Variables
This document provides an explanation of the environment variables used in the big-AGI application.
**All variables are optional**; and _UI options_ take precedence over _backend environment variables_,
which take place over _defaults_. This file is kept in sync with [`../src/server/env.mjs`](../src/server/env.mjs).
### Setting Environment Variables
Environment variables can be set by creating a `.env` file in the root directory of the project.
The following is an example `.env` for copy-paste convenience:
```bash
# Database
POSTGRES_PRISMA_URL=
POSTGRES_URL_NON_POOLING=
# LLMs
OPENAI_API_KEY=
OPENAI_API_HOST=
OPENAI_API_ORG_ID=
AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT=
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_HOST=
OLLAMA_API_HOST=
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=
# Model Observability: Helicone
HELICONE_API_KEY=
# Text-To-Speech
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=
ELEVENLABS_API_HOST=
ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID=
# Text-To-Image
PRODIA_API_KEY=
# Google Custom Search
GOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEY=
GOOGLE_CSE_ID=
# Browse
PUPPETEER_WSS_ENDPOINT=
# Backend Analytics
BACKEND_ANALYTICS=
```
## Variables Documentation
### Database
To enable features such as Chat Link Shring, you need to connect the backend to a database. We require
serverless Postgres, which is available on Vercel, Neon and more.
Also make sure that you run `npx prisma db:push` to create the initial schema on the database for the
first time (or update it on a later stage).
| Variable | Description |
|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `POSTGRES_PRISMA_URL` | The URL of the Postgres database used by Prisma - example: `postgres://USER:PASS@SOMEHOST.postgres.vercel-storage.com/SOMEDB?pgbouncer=true&connect_timeout=15` |
| `POSTGRES_URL_NON_POOLING` | The URL of the Postgres database without pooling |
### LLMs
The following variables when set will enable the corresponding LLMs on the server-side, without
requiring the user to enter an API key
| Variable | Description | Required |
|-----------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | API key for OpenAI | Recommended |
| `OPENAI_API_HOST` | Changes the backend host for the OpenAI vendor, to enable platforms such as Helicone and CloudFlare AI Gateway | Optional |
| `OPENAI_API_ORG_ID` | Sets the "OpenAI-Organization" header field to support organization users | Optional |
| `AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT` | Azure OpenAI endpoint - host only, without the path | Optional, but if set `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` must also be set |
| `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY` | Azure OpenAI API key, see [config-azure-openai.md](config-azure-openai.md) | Optional, but if set `AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT` must also be set |
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | The API key for Anthropic | Optional |
| `ANTHROPIC_API_HOST` | Changes the backend host for the Anthropic vendor, to enable platforms such as [config-aws-bedrock.md](config-aws-bedrock.md) | Optional |

### Model Observability: Helicone
Helicone provides observability to your LLM calls. It is a paid service, with a generous free tier.
It is currently supported for:
- **Anthropic**: by setting the Helicone API key, Helicone is automatically activated
- **OpenAI**: you also need to set `OPENAI_API_HOST` to `oai.hconeai.com`, to enable routing
