Provider Keys

Provider keys are the credentials the gateway uses when calling upstream AI APIs. They are stored encrypted in your tenant and never exposed to end-user applications.

Access

Navigate to Model Provider → select a provider → Keys.

Add a key

1. Click + Create.
2. Enter a Name to identify this key (e.g. production-openai-east).
3. Paste the provider API Key or upload credentials as required by the provider type.
4. Click Submit.

The gateway load-balances across multiple keys when more than one is configured for the same provider.

Best practices

• Use separate keys per environment (production vs. staging) by creating multiple provider configurations or named keys.
• Rotate keys in Monetize360 when your vendor rotates them — update the key record and save; no application redeploy is required.
• Applications never receive provider keys directly. They use User Keys (virtual keys) instead.
