# AltLLM Portal API Keys

AltLLM Portal API Keys manages the lifecycle of AltLLM Portal API keys for external agents or applications using the local altllm CLI. Use it to list, create, inspect, update, disable, re-enable, or revoke keys.

**Install:**

## README

# AltLLM Portal API Keys

Portal API key lifecycle management for the local `altllm` CLI.

## Shared Setup

> Before the first `altllm` command in a fresh checkout, read and follow:
> - `../_shared/preflight.md`
> - `../_shared/session-and-target.md`

## Command Index

| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `list-api-keys` | List active and disabled keys |
| `create-api-key` | Create a new key, optionally with a model allowlist |
| `get-api-key` | Inspect one key |
| `update-api-key` | Rename a key, change status, or replace the model allowlist |
| `revoke-api-key` | Permanently revoke a key |

## Rules

- `create-api-key` returns the full key only once.
- If no model allowlist is passed, the Portal API applies its default AltLLM model set.
- Key permissions narrow accessible models, but gateway balance and tier checks still apply.
- Flex users can allowlist normal AltLLM models and Flex-only `altllm-flex-*` models; backend access checks remain authoritative.
- `update-api-key --status disabled` is reversible.
- `revoke-api-key` is permanent.
- `keys` is an alias for `list-api-keys`.

## Known Production Limitation

- The single-key Portal API routes are currently broken in production.
- Affected commands:
  - `get-api-key`
  - `update-api-key`
  - `revoke-api-key`
- Commands that still work:
  - `list-api-keys`
  - `create-api-key`
- Do not create temporary production smoke keys unless `revoke-api-key` is healthy or an approved cleanup path exists.
