API keys are static secrets you generate in the Cloud Console and include in every request for authentication.
  • Create a key: Go to the API Keys page in the Cloud Console. On paid accounts, select a project first to scope the key to that project’s rate limits and usage.
  • Use the key: Set the Authorization: Bearer header on direct HTTP requests, or set the CEREBRAS_API_KEY environment variable. Learn more in our Authentication guide.
API keys do not expire. Store them in a secrets manager and rotate them periodically. To rotate a key, create a new one, update your application to use it, then delete the old one. To delete a key, click the delete icon next to it on the API Keys page. Deletion is immediate and permanent — any application still using the key will receive authentication errors.
