## Overview

Use the API Keys settings page to manage your OpenHands LLM key and create API keys for programmatic access to
OpenHands Cloud

## OpenHands LLM Key

<Note>
  You must purchase at least \$10 in OpenHands Cloud credits before generating an OpenHands LLM Key. To purchase credits, go to [Settings > Billing](https://app.all-hands.dev/settings/billing) in OpenHands Cloud.

You can use the API key under `OpenHands LLM Key` with [the OpenHands CLI](/openhands/usage/cli/quick-start),

use credits from your OpenHands Cloud account. If you need to refresh it at anytime, click the `Refresh API Key` button.
