Bring your own provider keys

Add a key you already have with a provider, and DigitSpace sends that provider's requests on it. The provider bills you at your own rates and discounts; DigitSpace charges nothing for those requests. Routing, failover, budgets, guardrails and the request log work the same as on credits.

Add a key

Owners and admins add keys under Provider keys in the dashboard. Choose the provider, paste the key, and fill in anything else it needs (a region, a resource name). The key is checked with the provider before it's saved.

Give each key a description so you can tell them apart. Keys are stored encrypted, and only one active key per provider is used. To limit what runs on your keys, use budgets and access rules on your API keys; they count requests on your provider keys too.

Which requests use it

Each project chooses under Settings → Preferences → How requests are paid:

• Own keys: only your keys. A model whose providers you have no key for returns 503 no_provider_available.
• Own keys, then credits (the default): your key for a provider you have one for, credits for the rest.
• Credits: never your keys.

See Credits or your own keys.

Models the catalogue doesn't list

For most providers, adding a key also reads the list of models the key can use. You can then call those models even if DigitSpace's catalogue doesn't list them, by name or as provider/model, and they run on your key. They're listed by GET /v1/models when you send your key. Use Sync models in the key's menu to read the list again after the provider adds models.

AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and Azure don't give a usable model list, so nothing is read from them. Their keys are used for the models DigitSpace's catalogue routes to that provider; see the provider's page under Providers. On the Enterprise plan you can add other deployments yourself as custom models.

• AWS Bedrock
• Google Vertex AI
• Azure
• Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints
