Create an API key

Create an API key with the CLI to authenticate requests to a Managed Inference endpoint.

Create an API key from the CLI and use it to authenticate requests to a Managed Inference endpoint that requires an authorization header.

Prerequisites

You need the following before you start:

A running CosmicAC deployment. See Installation.
The CosmicAC CLI installed and configured. See Install the CLI.

Steps

Create the key

Create a key, replacing <name> with a display name:

cosmicac api-keys create <name>

CosmicAC shows the full key only once. Copy it and store it somewhere safe.

If you lose the key, you cannot recover it. Revoke the key and create a new one.

Confirm the key

List your keys:

cosmicac api-keys list

The new key appears at the top of the list with its ID, name, preview, and status.
