# API keys

API keys let backend services call AIMP without a browser login. They belong to
the active workspace.

## Key lifecycle

1. Create the key in the API Keys page.
2. Store the full value in your secret manager immediately.
3. Use it with `X-API-Key`.
4. Monitor usage from Billing and Usage.
5. Revoke keys that are no longer needed.

## API management endpoints

The product app uses these authenticated endpoints through the Gateway/Django
API surface:

```text theme={null}
GET /api/api-keys/
POST /api/api-keys/
PATCH /api/api-keys/{id}/
DELETE /api/api-keys/{id}/
```

These management endpoints require a signed-in user session. Runtime execution
uses the created key with `X-API-Key`.

## Naming guidance

Use explicit names such as `prod-checkout-worker`, `staging-search-service`, or
`local-alice`. Avoid names like `test` or `new key` because they make rotation
and incident response harder.
