OpenClaw Provider Plugin Configuration Guide

1. Obtain API Key

Open the Lingxi AI Plaza application list, access the available applications, and copy the API Key.

Obtain Lingxi AI Plaza API Key

2. Install OpenClaw and the Plugin

npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw plugins install npm:@acedatacloud/openclaw-provider@2026.5.34 --pin

The plugin requires OpenClaw 2026.4.2 or higher, currently natively providing Chat and Web Search capabilities.

3. Configure Key

It is recommended to use onboarding:

openclaw onboard \
  --auth-choice acedatacloud-api-key \
  --acedata-api-key "your API Key"

You can also use environment variables:

export ACEDATACLOUD_API_KEY="your API Key"

4. Optional: Manual Configuration

When not using onboarding, enable the plugin and set the default model in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": { "primary": "acedatacloud/MODEL_ID" }
    }
  },
  "plugins": {
    "allow": ["acedatacloud"],
    "entries": {
      "acedatacloud": { "enabled": true }
    }
  }
}

Do not write the API Key into this file; continue using environment variables.

5. Select Model and Verify

openclaw plugins info acedatacloud --runtime
openclaw plugins doctor
openclaw models list --all --provider acedatacloud
openclaw agent --local --session-id coding-plan-check \
  --model acedatacloud/MODEL_ID --json -m "Reply only OK"

Replace MODEL_ID with the model currently provided by Coding Plan. To set it as the default model, run:

openclaw models set acedatacloud/MODEL_ID

Call records can be viewed in the Usage History. A 401 indicates an invalid Key; if the model does not exist, first check the exact ID and plugin version. The cost: 0 in the plugin directory only indicates that it is not re-estimated by OpenClaw, actual costs are still recorded by Lingxi AI Plaza.

openclaw infer web search \
  --provider acedatacloud --query "latest AI agent frameworks" --limit 5

Currently, do not consider the image, video, or music capabilities mentioned in the plugin introduction as native Provider capabilities of OpenClaw.
