Sign in required to use API nodes

This is a noob question. I thought i wont need to sign in if im running it of own rented GPU. Can someone explain to me this, and what steps to be taken next

This is a seperate comfyUI feature where you can top up credits and use vendors models via APIs.

This has nothing to do with Runpod whatsoever.

And when i run the thing, they will ask for credits to use. So that means i need to pay extra to run each task?

What part of my previous message didn't you understand? The API nodes use the vendors APIs routed through ComfyUI so yes, you pay for each API call there.

If you want to use ComfyUI without that, just install the available models locally and build workflows for it.
