Choose a key type
A system key’s maintenance contact is not its owner. The key does not automatically stop when that contact leaves the organization.
Create and store a key
- Confirm the organization and workspace, then open API keys.
- Create a key, give it a recognizable name, and choose its type, limit, and expiration.
- Configure model mapping, fallback, or other advanced options as needed.
- Copy the full key after creation and store it in a secret manager or environment variable.
Limits and expiration
Key limits can be daily, weekly, monthly, or lifetime. An unlimited key still follows workspace hard limits and the account balance. See budgets and limits. An enterprise key’s expiration is read-only after creation. Create a replacement if you need a longer lifetime. An expired key cannot be re-enabled.Replace or disable a key
- Create a replacement with the required permissions and limits.
- Update the applications using it and verify requests with the new key.
- Disable or delete the old key.
