Get an API key

When to use this page

Use this page when onboarding a new customer, workspace, or agent runtime.

Customer flow

1. Ask your QuotaFlow admin for a production API key.

2. Confirm the target endpoint is https://api.quotaflow.ai/openai/v1.

3. Store the key as QUOTAFLOW_API_KEY or your platform's equivalent secret.

4. Run the model list smoke test.

5. Run one small non-streaming Responses request.

6. Switch your client or agent to the QuotaFlow base URL.

Admin flow

1. Create or select a customer workspace.

2. Create a production API key for that workspace.

3. Assign the right package or pool.

4. Enable OpenAI permission for Codex/OpenAI-compatible usage.

5. Enable Codex payload adaptation when the key is intended for Codex-like clients.

6. Send the customer the key through a secure channel.

Smoke test

curl https://api.quotaflow.ai/openai/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $QUOTAFLOW_API_KEY"

A 200 response confirms the key is recognized.

Environment separation

Use production keys only with production endpoints. Old development keys are not guaranteed to work on production endpoints unless a migration was explicitly planned.
