# Manage API Keys

> Create, reveal, monitor, and revoke API keys in Bloom Manager.

API keys are managed entirely from the Bloom Manager dashboard.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Manage API Keys">
    Log in to [Bloom Manager](https://bloombot.app) and click **Manage API Keys**
    in the top navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a key">
    Click **Create API Key**, then:

    * Give the key a **name** so you can recognize it later.
    * Choose the **chain**: **SOL** or **EVM**.
    * Click **Create API Key**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Reveal and copy it once">
    The full key is revealed exactly once, at creation. Copy it immediately and
    store it securely. It is not shown again and is not stored in plaintext.

    <Warning>
      If you lose the key, revoke it and create a new one.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor usage">
    The usage panel shows your shared per-user budget across all keys: the
    per-minute, per-hour, and per-week request limits. See
    [Rate limits](/concepts/rate-limits) for the current values.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Revoke">
    Revoke a key at any time from the same panel. Revoked keys stop working
    and do not count toward your **5 active keys per chain** limit.
  </Step>
