Creating API Keys

API keys authenticate your requests to the Qubax AI API. Create as many keys as you need — for different projects, environments, or team members.

Step-by-step

1. 1. Go to API Keys in your dashboard.
2. 2. Click "Create API Key".
3. 3. Give it a name (e.g. "production", "dev").
4. 4. Click create — your key will be shown once.
5. 5. Copy it immediately and store it somewhere safe.

Key format

All keys start with qbx_live_:

qbx_live_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0...

Managing keys

• • Delete — instantly revokes the key. All requests using it will fail.
• • Name — rename to keep track of which key is used where.
• • Multiple keys — create separate keys for different projects or environments.

Rotation

To rotate a key with zero downtime:

1. 1. Create a new key in the dashboard.
2. 2. Update your environment variables / deploy with the new key.
3. 3. Verify requests work with the new key.
4. 4. Delete the old key.

If a key is compromised

1. 1. Immediately delete it in the dashboard.
2. 2. Create a new key.
3. 3. Update all services using the old key.
