API keys
Sign in first
API keys are created from the console. Sign in at alt.advania.ai with your work email — you will be redirected to your organisation's Microsoft Entra ID sign-in page and then back to the console.
If sign-in does not work, contact your organization's administrator or your Advania Solutions Architect.
Creating an API key
For programmatic access to Advania ALT, create scoped API keys from the console. Keys are created and revoked in the API Keys section of the console.
Scopes
Scopes are functional: they enable capabilities, not specific endpoints.
| Scope | What it enables |
|---|---|
chat:completions | Make chat-completion requests |
embeddings:create | Create embeddings |
models:read | List and inspect available models |
kb:read | Read from and search Knowledge Bases |
kb:write | Create, update, and delete Knowledge Bases |
files:read | Read and download files |
files:write | Upload and delete files |
Grant a key only the scopes it needs.
Time-to-live (TTL)
- Default: 90 days
- Maximum: 365 days
There is no non-expiring key. Rotate before expiry by creating a new key with the same scopes and revoking the old one.
What keys cannot do
API keys hold scopes, not roles. Management endpoints (creating other keys, admin operations) require a signed-in user session — not a key.
