# Poe

Poe provides an API at `api.poe.com` that gives access to Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and hundreds of community bots through a single API key.

## Quick start

1. Get an API key from [poe.com/api_key](https://poe.com/api_key)
2. Enable the plugin and authenticate:

```bash
clawdbot plugins enable poe
clawdbot models auth login --provider poe
```

3. Enter your API key when prompted and select a default model.

## CLI setup

```bash
clawdbot onboard --auth-choice apiKey --token-provider poe --token "$POE_API_KEY"
```

## Config snippet

```json5
{
  env: { POE_API_KEY: "..." },
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: { primary: "poe/claude-sonnet-4.5" }
    }
  }
}
```

## Notes

- Rate limit: 500 requests per minute
- Bot names are case-sensitive (use exact names from poe.com)
- Pricing varies by bot; check poe.com for current rates

## Troubleshooting

**401 Unauthorized**: Your API key may be invalid or expired. Get a new key from [poe.com/api_key](https://poe.com/api_key).

**Model not found**: Verify the bot name is correct and available on your Poe account. Bot names are case-sensitive.
