How to create a read-only Admin API key for billing data

Last updated: August 25, 2026

An Admin API access key lets you pull account, usage, and billing data programmatically, without logging in to the Alchemy Dashboard or the Alchemy CLI. You can scope the key to read-only access so it can retrieve data but cannot make changes to your account.

Create a read-only Admin API key

  1. Go to dashboard.alchemy.com/settings/security in the Alchemy Dashboard.

  2. Create a new Admin API access key.

  3. Set the key's access level to Read only.

A read-only Admin API key can be used in an automated workflow, for example to generate a billing summary on a schedule. It cannot create, modify, or delete apps, API keys, or other account resources.

Who can create an Admin API key

An admin on your team can create an Admin API access key. See the Admin API overview for the full list of endpoints a key can access.
