The full token is returned ONLY in this response — store it securely. All active keys for the project can authenticate at the inference control plane. Synchronization is asynchronous: sync_status confirms that the refresh receiver observed the key; it does not acknowledge every region. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://spec.speakeasy.com/latitude/latitude/latitude-sh-api-with-code-samples post /inference/api_keys openapi: 3.0.1 info: title: Latitude.sh API version: '2023-06-01' description: >- The Latitude.sh API is a RESTful API to manage your Latitude.sh account.
