Background
With the popularity of AI applications, developers often need to integrate multiple AI models to fulfill different needs. Each model provider has its own API key and authentication method, which creates a huge challenge for key management and security.
prescription
Vercel AI Gateway simplifies key management in the following ways:
- Unified key management: all vendor keys are centrally hosted in Vercel's back office
- Single Access Portal: developers only need to use the API key provided by Vercel
- Secure storage: Ensure that keys are not leaked in client code
Operation Guide
Implementation Steps:
- Register for a Vercel account and create a project
- Add all the AI model providers you need to use in the control panel
- Getting Vercel's Unified API Key
- Use only this one key in your code
caveat
It is recommended that the key be set as an environment variable rather than hardcoded to further increase security.
