Create a new key
Click Create API Key, give it a name (e.g., “Development”), and click Create.
Copy your key
Copy the key immediately; it will not be shown again.
Store your API key securely. Never commit it to version control or expose it in client-side code.
Enable Token Compression at the same time
You can enable token compression at the same time as creating the API key. To do so, select the compression engine you want to use.
Good to know: You can also enable token compression afterwards in Edge Models page.
Test Your Key
Now you copied your key, you can verify it works with a simple curl request:
curl https://api.edgee.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $EDGEE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "gpt-5.2",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
}'
