Where do I find my OpenAI API Key?
Find, create, manage, and delete your OpenAI API keys while keeping them secure.
Updated: last month
You can create and manage your API keys on the
API key page
. For security, a full secret key is only shown when you create it. If you lose it or did not save it, create a new key and update your application to use the new key. To delete a key, select the trash can icon next to it on the API key page; deleted keys cannot be used, so applications that rely on them may stop working.

Reminder: Do not share your API key with anyone!
