API keys
Create, rotate, scope, and revoke gateway API keys.
API keys (zrv_...) authenticate requests against the OpenAI-compatible gateway (https://api.zorveus.com/v1) and provider-native wire endpoints.
Before serving customers, read Configure product-user allowances to choose caps, credit mode, and overrun policy.
1. Create an API key in the dashboard
To generate an API key, your account must have an active Business Organization.
Select a Business Organization
Log in to app.zorveus.com. In the top-left organization dropdown, select or create a Business organization. Do not select a Developer Organization; Developer Organizations only register third-party OAuth applications.
Create an app
Open Apps in the sidebar, click Create App, enter an application name, and save.
Generate the key
Inside your app, open the connection settings and click Create API Key. Copy the plaintext secret (zrv_...) immediately.
2. Check live usage and spend cap
You can query the current spending cap, spent amount this period, remaining balance, and reset date directly using the API key itself.
