LLM API Key Management & Access Control

Control who can use your AI models, how keys are scoped, and how much each project can spend. FastRouter centralizes LLM API key management, access control, usage limits, logging, and governance across 100+ models through one OpenAI-compatible gateway, helping engineering, platform, and security teams move faster without losing oversight.

Our LLM API Key Management Services

Centralize AI access, budget controls, permissions, logging, and governance across models and providers.

API Key Limits

Create and manage API access through an OpenAI-compatible gateway, with project-level and key-level controls for usage, spend, and model availability across 100+ AI models.

Access Controls

Assign member roles and govern which users, projects, and applications can access specific models, helping teams protect sensitive or costly AI capabilities.

Spend Governance

Set limits at the project and API-key level to prevent overspend, reduce surprise bill spikes, and keep AI budgets accountable across teams.

Audit Logging

Capture request and response details, including model, provider, latency, token counts, cost, and outcome, for debugging, audits, and governance review.

Guardrails

Validate inputs and outputs at the gateway to enforce safety, compliance, response structure, and policy consistency across every connected model provider.

Usage Analytics

Track usage, spend, request volume, and consumption by model, provider, project, and team from a unified dashboard built for operational clarity.

Centralized Governance

Secure AI Access Without Slowing Teams

FastRouter brings API keys, roles, limits, guardrails, logging, and usage visibility into one control plane for production AI. Instead of managing access separately across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, and other providers, teams can apply policies once at the gateway and keep development flexible while finance, security, and platform leaders maintain control.

"Excellent platform to test the latest LLMs for our use case. With new LLMs coming out every few weeks and benchmarks not giving the full picture, I rely on Fastrouter.ai to optimize my cost vs quality balance."

"FastRouter is a good value add, specifically when you are not sure which LLM is better for your use cases. You can play around with models, can compare against them, and then use normal OpenAI compatible APIs call to leverage the full potential of it."

Meet The FastRouter Team

A control plane team focused on production AI operations.

FastRouter is built for teams moving from experimental AI usage to production-grade LLM operations. Its platform acts as a single OpenAI-compatible control plane for routing, observability, experiment tracking, guardrails, cost governance, and evaluations across 100+ models. Rather than forcing engineering teams to manage separate provider integrations, disconnected keys, and scattered billing data, FastRouter centralizes the operational layer around AI usage. The vision is straightforward: help businesses adopt powerful AI models safely, reliably, and intelligently, with the controls platform, security, finance, and product teams need to scale responsibly.

100+ ModelsAccess major text, image, video, speech, and embedding models.
Single APIUse one OpenAI-compatible gateway instead of many provider integrations.
Free CreditsTest the platform with no credit card required for initial access.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to get AI gateway API key?

To get an AI gateway API key with FastRouter, start with initial platform access, which includes free credits and does not require a credit card. After creating or selecting a project, generate an API key and apply project-level or key-level limits. You can then point OpenAI-compatible SDK code to the FastRouter base URL and begin routing requests through the gateway.
