Authentication & API keys
Connect your application with an account-owned Router API key.
Send a bearer token
Pass your Router API key in the Authorization header. OpenAI clients set this header when you provide their api_key or apiKey option.
Authorization: Bearer $ROUTER_API_KEYCreate and store a key
Create a key in API keys. The secret is shown once. Store it in your server environment and give each application a recognizable key name.
Revoke access
Revoke a key from the dashboard when an application no longer needs it or a secret has been exposed. Create a replacement and update your server configuration. Revoked credentials cannot authorize new requests.
Dashboard and application access
The Playground uses your signed-in account. Application requests use API keys. Playground requests are not included in the API-key usage history.
Continue with your first request.
