API keys

MESH API keys start with mesh_live_ or mesh_test_. Operators can create separate keys for projects, clients, and team members while drawing from one account balance.

curl https://api.meshrouter.app/v1/api-keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MESH_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "production app",
    "scopes": ["chat", "usage"],
    "limits": {
      "requestsPerMinute": 120,
      "monthlyRequestLimit": 10000,
      "monthlyUsdLimit": 100
    }
  }'

The secret is returned once. Store only hashed keys server-side, update budgets with PATCH /v1/api-keys/{id}/limits, and revoke leaked keys with DELETE /v1/api-keys/{id}.
