The ax api-keys commands are currently in ALPHA. The API may change without notice. A one-time warning is emitted on first use.
ax api-keys commands let you create and manage API keys for accessing the Arize platform programmatically.
ax api-keys list
List API keys for the authenticated user.
ax api-keys list [--key-type <type>] [--status <status>] [--limit <n>] [--cursor <cursor>]
| Option | Description |
|---|
--key-type | Filter by key type: user or service |
--status | Filter by status: active or deleted |

ax api-keys list --key-type service --status active
ax api-keys list --output api-keys.json
ax api-keys create
Create a new user API key. The key authenticates as you with your full permissions. To create a space-scoped service key, use create-service-key instead.
ax api-keys create --name <name> [options]
| Option | Description |
|---|
--name, -n | Name for the API key (max 256 characters) |
--description | Optional description (max 1000 characters) |
--expires-at | Expiration datetime in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2025-12-31T23:59:59). If omitted, the key never expires |
The raw key value is displayed once after creation. Save it securely — it will not be shown again.
# User key (no expiry)
ax api-keys create --name "CI Pipeline Key"
# User key with expiry
ax api-keys create \
--name "Temporary Key" \
--expires-at "2025-12-31T23:59:59"
ax api-keys create-service-key
Create a new service API key scoped to a space. Service keys are backed by a dedicated bot user with configurable roles. When no roles are specified the server applies its defaults (space_role=member, org_role=read-only, account_role=member).

| Option | Description |
|---|
--name, -n | Name for the API key (max 256 characters) |
--space, -s | Space name or ID the service key is scoped to |
--description | Optional description (max 1000 characters) |
--expires-at | Expiration datetime in ISO 8601 format (e.g. 2025-12-31T23:59:59). If omitted, the key never expires |
--space-role | Space role for the bot user: admin, member, or read-only |
--org-role | Organization role for the bot user: admin, member, or read-only |
--account-role | Account role for the bot user: admin or member |
The raw key value is displayed once after creation. Save it securely — it will not be shown again.
# Service key scoped to a space (server-default roles)
ax api-keys create-service-key \

ax api-keys delete key_abc123
ax api-keys delete key_abc123 --force
