- permissions: Optional[dict] - key-specific permissions. Currently just used for turning off pii masking (if connected). Example - {"pii": false}
- model_max_budget: Optional[Dict[str, BudgetConfig]] - Model-specific budgets {"gpt-4": {"budget_limit": 0.0005, "time_period": "30d"}}}. IF null or {} then no model specific budget.
- model_rpm_limit: Optional[dict] - key-specific model rpm limit. Example - {"text-davinci-002": 1000, "gpt-3.5-turbo": 1000}. IF null or {} then no model specific rpm limit.
- model_tpm_limit: Optional[dict] - key-specific model tpm limit. Example - {"text-davinci-002": 1000, "gpt-3.5-turbo": 1000}. IF null or {} then no model specific tpm limit.
- tpm_limit_type: Optional[str] - Type of tpm limit. Options: "best_effort_throughput" (no error if we're overallocating tpm), "guaranteed_throughput" (raise an error if we're overallocating tpm), "dynamic" (dynamically exceed limit when no 429 errors). Defaults to "best_effort_throughput".
- rpm_limit_type: Optional[str] - Type of rpm limit. Options: "best_effort_throughput" (no error if we're overallocating rpm), "guaranteed_throughput" (raise an error if we're overallocating rpm), "dynamic" (dynamically exceed limit when no 429 errors). Defaults to "best_effort_throughput".
- allowed_cache_controls: Optional[list] - List of allowed cache control values. Example - ["no-cache", "no-store"]. See all values - https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/caching#turn-on--off-caching-per-request
- blocked: Optional[bool] - Whether the key is blocked.
- rpm_limit: Optional[int] - Specify rpm limit for a given key (Requests per minute)
- tpm_limit: Optional[int] - Specify tpm limit for a given key (Tokens per minute)
- soft_budget: Optional[float] - Specify soft budget for a given key. Will trigger a slack alert when this soft budget is reached.
- tags: Optional[List[str]] - Tags for tracking spend and/or doing tag-based routing.
- prompts: Optional[List[str]] - List of prompts that the key is allowed to use.
- enforced_params: Optional[List[str]] - List of enforced params for the key (Enterprise only). Docs
- prompts: Optional[List[str]] - List of prompts that the key is allowed to use.
- allowed_routes: Optional[list] - List of allowed routes for the key. Store the actual route or store a wildcard pattern for a set of routes. Example - ["/chat/completions", "/embeddings", "/keys/*"]
- allowed_passthrough_routes: Optional[list] - List of allowed pass through endpoints for the key. Store the actual endpoint or store a wildcard pattern for a set of endpoints. Example - ["/my-custom-endpoint"]. Use this instead of allowed_routes, if you just want to specify which pass through endpoints the key can access, without specifying the routes. If allowed_routes is specified, allowed_pass_through_endpoints is ignored.
- object_permission: Optional[LiteLLM_ObjectPermissionBase] - key-specific object permission. Example - {"vector_stores": ["vector_store_1", "vector_store_2"], "agents": ["agent_1", "agent_2"], "agent_access_groups": ["dev_group"]}. IF null or {} then no object permission.
- key_type: Optional[str] - Type of key that determines default allowed routes. Options: "llm_api" (can call LLM API routes), "management" (can call management routes), "read_only" (can only call info/read routes), "default" (uses default allowed routes). Defaults to "default".
- prompts: Optional[List[str]] - List of allowed prompts for the key. If specified, the key will only be able to use these specific prompts.

- allowed_vector_store_indexes: Optional[List[dict]] - List of allowed vector store indexes for the key. Example - [{"index_name": "my-index", "index_permissions": ["write", "read"]}]. If specified, the key will only be able to use these specific vector store indexes. Create index, using /v1/indexes endpoint.
- router_settings: Optional[UpdateRouterConfig] - key-specific router settings. Example - {"model_group_retry_policy": {"max_retries": 5}}. IF null or {} then no router settings.
- access_group_ids: Optional[List[str]] - List of access group IDs to associate with the key. Access groups define which models a key can access. Example - ["access_group_1", "access_group_2"].
Examples:
- Allow users to turn on/off pii masking
curl --location 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/key/generate' --header 'Authorization: Bearer sk-1234' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{
"permissions": {"allow_pii_controls": true}
}'
Returns:
- key: (str) The generated api key
- expires: (datetime) Datetime object for when key expires.
- user_id: (str) Unique user id - used for tracking spend across multiple keys for same user id.
