API and developer settings

Settings, API & Developer is where you manage API keys. Opening it needs the keys:read member scope.

Create a key

1. Choose Create API key. A dialog of the same name opens.
2. Give the key a Name that says where it runs.
3. Choose an Expiration: the workspace default, 7 days, 30 days or 90 days. Your workspace policy may shorten it, and no key lives longer than 365 days by default.
4. Choose its Access scopes. Three are selected for you: LLM gateway (llm:access), Agent API & chat (llm:chat) and cli:knowledge:read. You can add Embeddings (llm:embeddings) and the other optional scopes the dialog lists. A scope you do not hold in your organization is listed but cannot be selected; llm:* scopes are always available.
5. If your sign-in is older than five minutes, confirm your password.
6. Choose Create key, then copy the key from the one-time Save this key panel and choose I’ve saved it. It cannot be shown again.

Scopes the dialog does not offer, such as llm:batch, can be requested through the API keys endpoint, under the same rule. See Authentication and API keys for what each scope allows.

You receive a security notification by email whenever a key is created on your account.

View and revoke keys

Your keys lists each key with its name, prefix (bl_live_ and four characters) and expiry, and marks expired and revoked keys. Revoke a key and it stops working immediately.

Security

Revoke keys you no longer use, and any key that may have been exposed. Rotating is safer than reusing: create the new key, deploy it, then revoke the old one.

Limits

You can have up to 10 active keys and create up to 5 per hour. See Authentication and API keys for scopes and the full key lifecycle.
