ComfyUI API Liberation

Use your own API keys. No ComfyUI account required.

ComfyUI's built-in API nodes route through api.comfy.org which requires an account and uses a credit system. This extension bypasses that entirely - your API calls go directly to the vendors (Google, OpenAI, Stability, etc.) using your own API keys.

Features

• Direct API routing - Calls go straight to vendor APIs, not through ComfyUI's proxy
• No account needed - Works without a ComfyUI/Comfy.org account
• Local asset storage - Images/videos stored locally instead of uploaded to Comfy servers
• 20+ providers supported - All major AI APIs covered
• Simple UI - Configure keys through ComfyUI's interface
• Graceful fallback - If no key is set, falls back to default ComfyUI behavior

Installation

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/oxysoft/comfy-api-liberation.git

Restart ComfyUI after installation.

Configuration

Option 1: UI (Recommended)

1. In ComfyUI, go to Settings (gear icon)
2. Find API Liberation section
3. Enter your API keys for each provider
4. Keys are saved locally to api_keys.json

Option 2: Environment Variables

Set environment variables before starting ComfyUI:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
export STABILITY_API_KEY="your-key-here"
# ... etc

Option 3: Config File

Create api_keys.json in the extension directory:

{
  "google": "your-google-key",
  "openai": "your-openai-key",
  "stability": "your-stability-key"
}

Priority: Environment variables > Config file > UI settings

How It Works

ComfyUI's API nodes make requests to /proxy/* endpoints on api.comfy.org. This extension:

1. Intercepts outgoing API requests before they leave ComfyUI
2. Rewrites /proxy/vendor/... URLs to direct vendor API URLs
3. Injects your API key as the appropriate auth header
4. Virtualizes the file upload system so assets stay local

All of this happens transparently - existing workflows work without modification.

Debugging

Enable debug logging:

LIBERATION_DEBUG=1 python main.py

Security Notes

• API keys are stored locally in api_keys.json (gitignored by default)
• Keys are never sent to ComfyUI/Comfy.org servers
• Each provider only receives its own API key
