# API Keys

> Create and manage API keys for the oleander API and CLI.

## Overview

API keys authenticate requests to oleander's HTTP API and CLI. Create and manage keys in **[Settings → API keys](https://oleander.dev/app/settings/api-keys)**.

Click **Create API key** to generate a new key. Each key shows its description, status, type, last used date, and expiration. Use the actions menu to rotate or revoke a key.

Never commit keys to source control - use environment variables or your secret manager. See [Environment](/platform/settings/environment) for managing secrets and service connections.
