Short, practical guidance for running OpenClaw on Clawspace.

1) Sign up

Click Get Started for free and sign in with GitHub to create your account.

2) Pair Telegram

Save your Telegram bot token in the Dashboard. The agent runs with pairing mode by default so you approve the DM once and keep your access secure.

3) Add API keys

Paste API keys in the Dashboard. They are stored per tenant, injected as environment variables, and written into BOOTSTRAP.md so the agent sees the key names.

4) Billing

Prepay credits on the Billing page. Credits are deducted while OpenClaw is active and for storage each month.

5) Runtime controls

Use Start/Stop in the Dashboard to control your runtime. Status shows the current instance and billing state.

6) API quickstart

Use the Clawspace API to create and chat with OpenClaw. When you are signed in, we will auto-fill your API key in the snippets below.
