Use API Keys for OCI Generative AI Models
- Services: Generative AI
- Release Date: January 21, 2026
API Keys are now available for OCI Generative AI models.
OCI
Generative AI API keys provide secure, service-specific credential tokens for authenticating and authorizing access to large language models hosted in OCI Generative AI. These tokens are tailored for the Generative AI service and include two interchangeable secrets (for example, key-one and key-two) that you can name and set expiration dates for seamless, zero-downtime rotation. Include either secret in the authorization header when calling model endpoints, enabling easy integration with supported OpenAI SDK and OCI OpenAI Compatible SDK for streamlined development and enhanced security.
