Creating Openai API keys programmatically

[sps]

Hi @cbear300

@cbear300

I may write my own script to create they keys because on my app all my users will need their own keys because the DALLe API limit of 50 images/min

The limit is on API account not per key.

And no there’s no way to create API key programmatically, for good reasons.

Currently the DALL-E API is in beta hence the limits.

Also it’s never meant for OpenAI API keys to be used per user, instead these are meant for server side and not client-side.
Consider using service like Microsoft Azure API service to deploy your middleware API for secure authentication and user control.

How do you store your API Keys in production?

It’s a best practice that API keys must never be stored inside code or with the software that is distributed. So it makes sense to have a middleware that would safely store the API key and somehow allow the validated requests to be sent to the OpenAI API with the valid (and securely stored) API key. Have you deployed your OpenAI based application to production? What was your approach?
