API keys authenticate your inference requests. Each key is scoped to an organization.

​
Creating an API Key

1

Open the dashboard

Navigate to console.getlilac.com and select your organization.
2

Go to API Keys

Click API Keys in the sidebar.
3

Create a key

Click Create API Key, give it a name, and copy the key immediately.
API keys are only shown once at creation. Store it securely — you cannot retrieve it later.

​
Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer your-lilac-api-key
Or pass it directly to the OpenAI SDK: 
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://api.getlilac.com/v1",
    api_key="your-lilac-api-key",
)

​
Revoking a Key

To revoke a key, go to API Keys in the dashboard and click Delete next to the key you want to remove. Revoked keys stop working immediately.

​
Best Practices

  • Create separate keys for different environments (development, staging, production).
  • Rotate keys periodically.
  • Never commit keys to version control — use environment variables instead.
  • Revoke keys immediately if they may have been exposed.
