venice-api-keys

venice-api-keys is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 0xatd/cheaptokens-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (2,535 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of venice-api-keys, MIT.

A guide to managing Venice.ai API keys, the secret credentials applications use to access Venice services. It covers creating, inspecting, updating, limiting, and revoking keys, including wallet-based key generation.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps list and manage keys, check usage and rate limits, set spending limits or expiration dates, revoke access, and create a key through a wallet flow.
Why use it?
It removes the need to work out the relevant authentication endpoints and key-management rules manually. It also explains the difference between keys for inference requests and administration.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

venice-api-keys scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Venice API Keys

Admin endpoints for managing Bearer API keys. You need an ADMIN key (or parent session) to call these. For wallet-only auth, use venice-auth / venice-x402 instead.

Endpoint Purpose
GET /api_keys List your keys (masked).
POST /api_keys Create a new key. Response contains the only copy of the secret.
PATCH /api_keys Update description, expiresAt, consumptionLimit.
DELETE /api_keys?id=... Revoke a key.
GET /api_keys/{id} Full details for one key (usage, limits, expiration).
GET /api_keys/rate_limits Balances + per-model rate-limit tiers for the current key.
GET /api_keys/rate_limits/log Last 50 rate-limit breaches.
GET /api_keys/generate_web3_key Get a SIWE-style token to sign with a wallet.
POST /api_keys/generate_web3_key Authenticate a wallet (holds sVVV) and mint a classic API key.

Limits: key creation is capped at 20 requests/minute and 500 active keys per user.

Key types

Type Can call
INFERENCE Inference endpoints plus any route that only requires authentication — e.g. /chat/*, /image/*, /audio/*, /video/*, /embeddings, /augment/*, /crypto/rpc, /characters, /api_keys/rate_limits*, /support-bot. Rejected from admin routes listed below with 401.
ADMIN Everything an INFERENCE key can do, plus admin-only routes: POST/PATCH/DELETE /api_keys, GET /api_keys (list), GET /api_keys/{id}, GET /billing/balance, GET /billing/usage.

A leaf app should almost always use INFERENCE keys — per-app, per-user, with consumption caps.

GET /api_keys

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/api_keys \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_KEY"

Returns:

{
  "object": "list",
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "uuid",
      "apiKeyType": "INFERENCE",
      "description": "backend prod",

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
