API Keys

Status: Stable dashboard workflow.

An API key is the credential your app or tool uses to call NexoRouter. Treat it like a password.

NexoRouter API Keys dashboard with demo data

The dashboard screenshot above uses sanitized demo data. Use it to locate the real fields; do not copy the demo key text.

  1. Create an account or sign in.
  2. Open API Keys.
  3. Create one key per app, environment, or tool.
  4. Set a budget when the key is for a test, a tool, or a teammate.
  5. Set model scope when the key should only call specific models.
  6. Reveal the key once and store it in a secret manager.
  7. Revoke leaked or unused keys.

Header format

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_NEXOROUTER_API_KEY

Safe naming

Use names that make rotation easy:

production-api
staging-api
cline-local
dify-workspace
open-webui-lab

Verification

After creating a key, send a tiny chat/completions request and check Usage Logs. If the key never appears in logs, the request did not reach NexoRouter with that key.
