update-key

Update Key

Update an existing API key on a live LiteLLM proxy.

Setup

LITELLM_BASE_URL  — e.g. https://my-proxy.example.com
LITELLM_API_KEY   — proxy admin key

API reference: https://litellm.vercel.app/docs/proxy/virtual_keys

Ask the user

1. Key (required) — the sk-... value. If they don't have it, list keys:

   curl -s "$BASE/key/list?size=25&return_full_object=true" -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
2. What to change — any combination of:
   • max_budget (float)
   • models (list)
   • key_alias (string)
   • tpm_limit / rpm_limit (int)
   • duration (e.g. 30d — extends expiry from now)
   • team_id / user_id (reassign ownership)

Run

curl -s -X POST "$BASE/key/update" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "key": "<sk-...>",
    "max_budget": <value>,
    "models": [<models>],
    "duration": "<duration>"
  }'

Only include the fields being changed.

Output

Show the updated key_alias, max_budget, models, expires.
