API keys authenticate your applications to RamaLama Cloud and provision access to a variety of hosted API gateways. With a single API key, you can access models from multiple providers through a unified interface.
To use API keys, you must first add billing information on the Profile Settings page.

​
Create an API Key

1

Log in

Go to the RamaLama Cloud dashboard and sign in to your account.
2

Navigate to API Keys

Click API Keys in the left panel.
3

Create the key

Click Create New Key, enter a descriptive name (e.g., “Production Server” or “Development”), and click Create.
4

Copy your key

Copy your API key immediately.
For security reasons, the full key is only shown once.

​
Best Practices

  • Use descriptive names - Name keys by their purpose or environment
  • Create separate keys - Use different keys for development, staging, and production
  • Rotate regularly - Regenerate keys periodically to maintain security
  • Never commit keys - Keep API keys out of version control

​
Managing Keys

From the API Keys page you can:
  • View all active keys and their creation dates
  • See when each key was last used
  • Revoke keys that are no longer needed

​
Revoking a Key

If a key is compromised or no longer needed:
1

Navigate to API Keys

Click API Keys in the left panel.
2

Find and revoke

Find the key you want to revoke and click Revoke.
3

Confirm

Confirm the action.
Revoked keys immediately stop working. Any applications using the key will receive authentication errors.
