Create an API Key

Name: Edgee Agent Gateway
Author: Edgee

Create a new API key to use Edgee services.

Open API Keys

In your Edgee Console, navigate to API Keys.

Create a new key

Click Create API key, give it a name (e.g., "Development"), optionally set an expiration and spending limit, then click Create key.

Copy your key

Copy the generated Gateway key and store it securely. Keep it separate from your personal Console API token and your provider credentials.

Current Create API key form showing the General, Compression, and Advanced tabs, key name, expiration, spending limit, and Create key button. — Create a standard API key for your application, with optional expiration and spending limit.

Test Your Key

Set the copied key in your terminal first, then send a small request:

export EDGEE_API_KEY="your-gateway-api-key"

curl https://edgee.io/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EDGEE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-5.2",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

Verify: the response contains a model answer. Open Logs in the same organization and find the request. If it fails, use the error message and Troubleshooting. For restrictions, expiration, and revocation, see Manage API keys.
