## Manage and deploy your AI provider keys through Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) with AI Gateway, now powered by Cloudflare Secrets Store

Cloudflare Secrets Store is now integrated with AI Gateway, allowing you to store, manage, and deploy your AI provider keys in a secure and seamless configuration through [Bring Your Own Key ↗︎](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/configuration/bring-your-own-keys/). Instead of passing your AI provider keys directly in every request header, you can centrally manage each key with Secrets Store and deploy in your gateway configuration using only a reference, rather than passing the value in plain text.

You can now create a secret directly from your AI Gateway [in the dashboard ↗︎](http://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/ai-gateway) by navigating into your gateway -> **Provider Keys** -> **Add**.

![Import repo or choose template](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=2410,height=1842,format=webp/_astro/add-secret-ai-gateway.B-SIPr6s.png)

You can also create your secret with the newly available **ai\_gateway** scope via [wrangler ↗︎](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/), the [Secrets Store dashboard ↗︎](http://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/secrets-store), or the [API ↗︎](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/secrets_store/).

Then, pass the key in the request header using its Secrets Store reference:

```bash
curl -X POST https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/<ACCOUNT_ID>/my-gateway/anthropic/v1/messages \
 --header 'cf-aig-authorization: ANTHROPIC_KEY_1 \
 --header 'anthropic-version: 2023-06-01' \
 --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
 --data  '{"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is Cloudflare?"}]}'
```

Or, using Javascript:

```plaintext
import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';


const anthropic = new Anthropic({
 apiKey: "ANTHROPIC_KEY_1",
 baseURL: "https://gateway.ai.cloudflare.com/v1/<ACCOUNT_ID>/my-gateway/anthropic",
});


const message = await anthropic.messages.create({
 model: 'claude-3-opus-20240229',
 messages: [{role: "user", content: "What is Cloudflare?"}],
 max_tokens: 1024
});
```
