# API Keys

> Create Routing and Management keys.

| Type       | Use                                                                                                |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Routing    | Send model requests through a router.                                                              |
| Management | Manage routers, read model activity, manage credentials, evals, API keys, and organization access. |

## Create A Routing Key

```bash theme={null}
dari api-keys create --name router-client --type routing
export DARI_ROUTING_API_KEY="dari_..."
```

## Create A Management Key

```bash theme={null}
dari auth login
dari api-keys create --name automation
export DARI_API_KEY="dari_..."
```

You can also create either key from **API Keys** in the [Dari Dashboard](https://app.dari.dev). Keys are shown once. Store them in a secret manager and use a Routing key from the same organization as the router.

Provider credentials are separate; configure them on the router's [Keys page](/router/configure-provider-keys).
