API Keys ​

API keys authenticate your requests to the SandBase API. Each key belongs to an organization and can have an optional spending limit.

Key Format ​

SandBase API keys use the prefix sk-sb-:

sk-sb-abc123def456...

Create a Key ​

  1. Go to Console → API Keys
  2. Click Create API Key
  3. Name your key (e.g., "Production", "Development")
  4. Optionally set a spending limit
  5. Copy the key — it won't be shown again

INFO

A key grants access to all models available to the organization. There is no per-model or per-endpoint restriction on individual keys — scope and access are managed at the organization level. The only per-key control is an optional spending limit.

Security Best Practices ​

  • Never commit keys to version control
  • Use environment variables: SANDBASE_API_KEY
  • Create separate keys for development and production
  • Set spending limits on development keys
  • Revoke keys immediately if compromised

Revoke a Key ​

Revoking a key is permanent and cannot be undone. All requests using the revoked key will immediately return 401.

  1. Go to Console → API Keys
  2. Click the delete icon next to the key
  3. Confirm revocation
