Model API Keys

To use Krutrim's model APIs or fine-tuning features, you must create a secure API key via the Key Management System (KMS). Follow the steps below to generate and manage your API keys safely.

Steps to Create an API Key

1. Navigate to KMS:

   • Log in to the Krutrim Console.

   • In the left-hand sidebar, click on KMS (Key Management System).

2. Go to the Model Section:

   • Within the KMS dashboard, click on the Model tab.

   • This section allows you to create and manage API keys specifically for model access.

3. Click on "Create API Key":

   • You will see a button labeled Create API Key.

   • Click this to open the API Key creation form.

4. Enter a Secret Name:

   • Provide a meaningful name for the API key. For example: production-key, test-env, or fine-tune-llama3.

5. Generate and Copy the API Key:

   • Once the key is generated, copy it immediately and store it securely.

   • You will not be able to view the key again after closing the dialog.

Important Notes

• Security Best Practice: Store your API keys in environment variables or secret managers. Avoid hard-coding them into your source code.

• Scope Limitation: Each API key is scoped to a specific model group. Use separate keys for production and testing environments when possible.

• Key Rotation: Periodically delete and regenerate your API keys to maintain security.
