## Create Api Key

`api_keys.create(APIKeyCreateParams**kwargs)  -> APIKey`

**post** `/api/v1/beta/api-keys`

Create an API key.

Scope it to a project with `project_id`, which requires read access to that
project; omit it for a key that reaches every project you can read. A
project-scoped or agent key cannot create an API key. The response carries
the secret in `redacted_api_key`, and only this once.

### Parameters

- `expires_at: Optional[Union[str, datetime, null]]`

  When the API key should expire. If not set, the key never expires.

- `key_type: Optional[Literal["agent", "user"]]`

  - `"agent"`

  - `"user"`

- `name: Optional[str]`

- `project_id: Optional[str]`

  The project ID to associate with the API key.

- `role: Optional[Literal["admin", "agent_viewer", "viewer", "viewer_v2"]]`

  Role capping what this key may do. A key can only ever be narrower than the user who created it, never broader. If not set, the key authorizes as its owner.

  - `"admin"`

  - `"agent_viewer"`

  - `"viewer"`

  - `"viewer_v2"`

### Returns

- `class APIKey: …`

  Schema for an API Key.

  - `id: str`

    Unique identifier

  - `redacted_api_key: str`

    The key with its middle masked, except on the create response, which returns the full secret once and never again.

  - `user_id: str`

  - `created_at: Optional[datetime]`

    Creation datetime

  - `expires_at: Optional[datetime]`

    When the API key expires. Null if the key never expires.

  - `key_type: Optional[Literal["agent", "user"]]`

    - `"agent"`

    - `"user"`

  - `metadata: Optional[Dict[str, object]]`

  - `name: Optional[str]`

  - `project_id: Optional[str]`

  - `role: Optional[Literal["admin", "agent_viewer", "viewer", "viewer_v2"]]`

    Role capping what this key may do. Null if the key authorizes as its owner.

    - `"admin"`

    - `"agent_viewer"`

    - `"viewer"`

    - `"viewer_v2"`

  - `updated_at: Optional[datetime]`

    Update datetime

### Example

```python
import os
from llama_cloud_admin import LlamaCloudAdmin

client = LlamaCloudAdmin(
    api_key=os.environ.get("LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
api_key = client.api_keys.create()
print(api_key.id)
```
