Manage AI API keys

An API key is an important identity credential for calling the AI service. You can create, view, rename, and delete API keys on the AI service page.

On the API Keys page, you can perform the following operations:

• Create an API key: Generate a new access credential for an application or service.

• View the API key list: View the name, ID, creation time, and last used time of existing API keys.

• Edit the name: Change the name of an API key as needed for easier identification and management.

• Set rate limits & quotas: Configure the daily/monthly token quota and set the TPM and RPM limits for each API key based on the model type.

• Delete an API key: Delete an API key that is no longer in use to reduce the risk of credential leakage.

Prerequisites

• You have enabled and accessed the AI service page.

Create an API key

1. Click Create API Key in the upper-right corner of the page.

2. In the dialog box that appears, enter a name of 2 to 64 characters in length, which can contain Chinese characters, digits, letters, underscores (_), and hyphens (-), and select I have agreed to the agreement and understand the associated risks.

3. Click OK. The generated API key is displayed.

4. Copy and save the generated API key.

View the API key list

The following fields are displayed in the list:

• Name: The display name of the API key, which facilitates the identification of credentials for different purposes.

• ID: The unique identifier generated by the system for distinguishing between different API keys.

• API Key: Only the desensitized part of the API key is displayed on the page for the identification of the current credential.

• Created At (UTC+8): The creation time of the API key.

• Last Used (UTC+8): The time when the API key was last called. If the API key has not been used, it is displayed as -.

• Actions: You can perform more operations on the target API key, such as modifying the name, setting the rate limits and quotas, or deleting the API key.

You can view the basic information of all current API keys. Based on this information, you can quickly determine the following:

• Whether an API key is still in use.

• Which application or business scenario the API key corresponds to.

• Whether there are long-term unused credentials that can be cleaned up.

Modify the name of an API key

1. In the API Keys list, find the target API key.

2. In the Actions column, click ....

3. Select Edit Name.

4. Enter a new name and save it.

We recommend that you use names with business significance, such as names that distinguish between applications, environments, or purposes, to facilitate maintenance.

Set rate limits & quotas

You can set call quotas and rate limits for individual API keys by model type to control usage across different applications or scenarios.

1. In the API Keys list, find the target API key.

2. In the Actions column, click ....

3. Select Rate Limits & Quotas.

4. In the Set Rate Limits & Quotas dialog box, configure the following limits by model type:

   Parameter	Description
   Daily Quota (M Tokens)	The maximum number of tokens this API key can consume in a single day, in millions of tokens.
   Monthly Quota (M Tokens)	The maximum number of tokens this API key can consume in a single month, in millions of tokens.
   Tokens per Minute (TPM)	The maximum number of tokens this API key can process per minute.
   Requests per Minute (RPM)	The maximum number of requests this API key can initiate per minute.

   Supported model types include: text generation, text embedding, text reordering, multimodal embedding, multimodal reordering, all-modal, image generation, and video generation.

5. Click OK to save the configuration.

Delete an API key
