Do you assign new API keys for each new studio?

Help me get my head around this - maybe you have solved it. In any given studio I use different API keys for some Pickaxe tools - some are better with Anthropic, some better with OpenAI, however, as I roll out more studios - I am thinking I should create new API keys so I can monitor API use for each studio, but that means duplicating every Pickaxe tool for the new studio, changing the API key in every Pickaxe tool and then importing them into the studio. If each studio has 5 Pickaxe tools, I am going to have a very rapidly growing list of Pickaxe tools - 10 studios would generate 50 Pickaxe tools in my dashboard list - all with the same series of names (dont want to try to change names just so I can differentiate them in the dashboard).

Right now, API keys are assigned on a tool by tool basis. There is certainly a good argument to be made that API keys should be a on a per-studio basis. Or per account basis.

We are discussing this a lot internally, but are prone to keep it the way it is until we have a really good reason to change it.

The way that each Pickaxe can be assigned to its own API token seems like it will prove important as the ecosystem grows.

While some Pickaxe customers will have their own accounts. Other Pickaxe customers will likely be working directly through a contractor who is running lots of Pickaxes and assigning the billing accordingly by API token.

Hi Mike

Is it also possible that you can give the API Key a name - easier to manage if you are using a 2 or 3.

Yes! We will be releasing a new redesign fairly soon that will make all this much easier to organize. API keys will be entered at a studio level basically.

Thanks Mike, appreciate the response.

Hi Mike,

Any updates on an API I can use to sign members up programmatically?

If you’re referring to studio-wide API keys, that will be available in January with the launch of our new redesign. You will be able to enter a single API key and use it throughout a studio.

If you’re referring to using a webhook to automatically register users into studio, that is not part of the redesign. But it will come eventually.
