Entry

Dashboard → sidebar API Keys → top-right Create API key.

Direct link: https://bridge.pulseneko.com/keys

Fields in the create dialog

Only a handful of fields; fill what you need:

Field	Meaning	Suggested
Name	A memo for yourself	e.g. `claude-code-mbp`
Group	Determines reachable models & billing multiplier	See Groups
Expiry	Defaults to "never"	Leave default, or pick `1 hour / 1 day / 1 month` / custom
Quantity	Create multiple keys at once (names get random suffixes)	Usually 1
Unlimited quota	Per-key spend cap	Default on = shares account balance

Expand Advanced settings for IP allow-list / model whitelist etc.

Get the key

After saving, you'll see an sk-… string. Shown only once. Copy it immediately. If lost, create a new one.

Caution

Never put the key in front-end code, public repos, or issue trackers.

Crawlers harvest leaked keys from public GitHub commits within minutes
On suspected leak, immediately disable or delete the key at API Keys

Reading the list

The /keys page shows one row per key:

Name / Status / sk-xxxx****xxxx (click to reveal / edit)
Quota / Group (with multiplier, e.g. anthropic 2.5x)
Model restriction / IP restriction
Created at / Last used / Expiry

Use Disable to pause; the row menu lets you edit or delete.

Using the key

cURL (OpenAI path)

curl https://bridge.pulseneko.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk-your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-5.1",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
  }'

cURL (Anthropic path)

curl https://bridge.pulseneko.com/v1/messages \
  -H "x-api-key: sk-your-key" \
  -H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "claude-opus-4-7",
    "max_tokens": 1024,
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
  }'

Multiple keys in practice

One key per client (claude-code / cursor / cline separately) for per-tool tracking
Quota-capped keys for team members
A separate key for CI with IP restriction
