Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a Body_create_service_account_api_key_v1_service_accounts__service_account_user_id__api_keys_post.

  • name (string, required)
  • permissions (BodyCreateServiceAccountApiKeyV1ServiceAccountsServiceAccountUserIdApiKeysPostPermissions, required) — The permissions of the XI API.
  • character_limit (integer, optional, nullable) — The character limit of the XI API key. If provided this will limit the usage of this api key to n characters per month where n is the chosen value. Requests that incur charges will fail after reaching this monthly limit.
  • allowed_ips (list of string, optional, nullable) — List of IP addresses or CIDR ranges allowed to use this API key. Each entry may be a CIDR range (e.g. '10.0.0.0/24') or a bare IP address (normalized to /32 or /128). On create, omit or pass null to allow all IPs. On update, omit to leave the allowlist unchanged, or pass "clear" to remove it.
  • third_party_disable_allowed (boolean, optional, nullable) — Whether the holder of this key may disable it via the self-disable endpoint. On create, omit or pass null to use the workspace's default (enabled for non-Enterprise plans, disabled for Enterprise plans). On update, omit to leave it unchanged, or pass "clear" to reset it to the workspace default. Only honored for workspaces with self-disable access enabled.
  • tts_concurrency_limit (integer, optional, nullable) — Maximum concurrent text-to-speech/speech-to-speech requests for this API key. Only available for enterprise customers.
  • dubbing_concurrency_limit (integer, optional, nullable) — Maximum concurrent dubbing requests for this API key. Only available for enterprise customers.
