Virtual key
An API key issued by an AI gateway instead of by the model vendor, so the gateway can enforce a spending cap and a list of allowed models. In ZopNight virtual keys belong to the organisation rather than one person, carry a hard dollar budget, and can be rotated with an overlap period. Why it matters: It lets you give teams AI access with a budget attached, and revoke it without touching the vendor account.
