Support Help

Hi,

I would like to use our own API key for security reasons. How can I do that on Retell?

Best,
David

Hi David,

Retell AI currently does not support bringing your own API keys for third-party services like OpenAI, Deepgram, or ElevenLabs(1).

To create and manage your Retell AI API keys for authenticating your requests, you can:

  1. Navigate to Settings → API Keys in your dashboard(2)(3)
  2. Click “Add” to create a new API key(2)
  3. Give your key a descriptive name(2)

These API keys are used to authenticate your REST API requests, SDK integrations, and webhook endpoints(4).

If you need to use custom LLM providers with your own credentials, you would need to implement a custom LLM integration using Retell’s Custom LLM interface(5).
