Retrieve and manage your API keys

Use API keys to authenticate requests to ModelRunner. Follow these steps to create a key, give it a clear name, copy it securely, and delete it when no longer needed.
1

Open Profile → API Keys

Go to your account menu and select Profile, then open API Keys.
2

Create API key

Click Create API key.
Prefer one key per environment or integration (for example: “staging-web”, “prod-data-pipeline”).
3

Name the key

Enter a descriptive name so you can identify usage later, then confirm to generate the key.
4

Copy the key

Copy the value and store it in a secure secrets manager or environment variable. You will use it in the Authorization header.
curl -X GET "https://queue.modelrunner.run/{owner}/{model}/requests/{request_id}/status" \
  -H "Authorization: Key YOUR_API_KEY"
You can only view the full API key once at creation time. If lost, delete it and create a new one. Never share keys publicly or embed them in client-side code.
Your API key is ready. Test it with a quick request and verify you receive a valid response.

​
Delete an API key

If an API key is no longer needed or has been exposed, you should delete it immediately to prevent unauthorized access. To delete an API key:
  • Go to the API Keys section in your profile.
  • Find the key you want to remove.
  • Click Delete and confirm your choice.
After deletion, any requests using that key will fail with a 401 Unauthorized error.
Regularly review and remove unused or compromised API keys to keep your account secure.
