Create an API key

Orbit AI API Team2026/07/113 min read

An API key authorizes an application to call Orbit AI API. Store it only in backend environment variables or a protected secret-management service.

Create a key

1. Sign in to the Orbit AI API Console.
2. Open the Token or API Key management page.
3. Create a key with a recognizable name, such as production-backend.
4. Copy and store the key immediately. For security, the full value may only be shown once.

Add the creation form. Any sample key must be a redacted, fictional value.

Security recommendations

• Use a separate key for each environment, such as development, testing, and production.
• If a key is exposed, disable or delete it in the console immediately and create a replacement.
• Never put a key in browser code, a mobile client, or a public repository.

After creating a key, configure your application using the OpenAI-compatible API.
