virtual API key
A credential issued and managed by a proxy gateway rather than a real vendor key. It performs authentication mapping and fine-grained access control between clients and upstream providers.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Virtual API keys are issued and managed by the proxy gateway; clients authenticate with the virtual key, and the gateway maps it to the real upstream key and forwards the request.
For users running agents, sandboxes, or CI that call models, the security isolation provided by virtual keys alone justifies deploying a proxy gateway.
