API Keys

Creating a Key

1. Log in to hipix.app
2. Navigate to Keys in the sidebar
3. Click Add Token
4. Configure the following options:

Option	Description
Name	A label for your reference
Quota	Maximum spend (or unlimited)
Expiration	Optional expiry date
Model Restrictions	Limit which models this key can access
IP Restrictions	Only allow requests from specific IPs

5. Click Create and copy the sk-... key immediately

One-time display

Your full API key is only shown once at creation. Store it securely — if lost, you’ll need to create a new key.

Using Your Key

All requests must include your key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer sk-your-api-key

Managing Keys

• Disable a key to temporarily block access without deleting it
• Delete a key to permanently revoke access
• Edit a key to change its quota, restrictions, or expiration

Security Best Practices

1. Never commit keys to git — use environment variables
2. Use separate keys per environment — one for dev, one for production
3. Set quotas — limit blast radius if a key is compromised
4. Rotate regularly — create a new key, switch your app, then delete the old one
5. Use IP restrictions when your servers have static IPs

Group Assignments

Keys can be assigned to user groups. Groups determine the pricing multiplier applied to requests. The default group uses standard pricing.
