Nobody Should Be Sharing Your OpenAI Key

Tyk AI Studio separates vendor credential management from developer access by allowing administrators to register providers such as OpenAI once, configure privacy levels, monthly budgets, request logging, and permitted model patterns, and store upstream keys securely through a secrets reference. Model restrictions are enforced at the gateway before requests reach the vendor, while configuration synchronization status helps administrators verify that policy updates have reached the serving gateway. Developers receive access only through catalogs assigned to their teams and create application-specific credentials that connect approved providers, data sources, and tools while undergoing privacy-rule validation. Each app exposes a unified endpoint for sending vendor-native requests and an OpenAI-compatible endpoint that lets OpenAI SDKs communicate with different underlying providers through request translation, with both routes applying the same authentication, budget, model, filtering, and analytics controls. This design enables developers to use individual, revocable app keys without ever accessing or sharing the organization’s actual OpenAI credential.
