The API may change before general availability. The `` component is used to manage API keys for your application. It allows you to create, edit, and revoke API keys for your application. The component manages API keys based on the user's current context. When the user has an Active OrganizationA user can be a member of multiple Organizations, but only one can be active at a time. The **Active Organization** determines which Organization-specific data the user can access and which Role and related Permissions they have within the Organization. selected, all operations are scoped to that Organization. Otherwise, operations are user-scoped. To utilize the `` component, you must first enable API keys in the Clerk Dashboard. Refer to the [Using API keys](/docs/guides/development/machine-auth/api-keys) guide for more information. ## Example The following example includes a basic implementation of the `` component. You can use this as a starting point for your own implementation. ```vue {{ filename: 'api-keys.vue' }} ``` ## Properties All props are optional. * `perPage?` * `number` The number of API keys to show per page. Defaults to `10`. *** * `showDescription?` * `boolean` Whether to show the description field in the API key creation form. Defaults to `false`. *** * `appearance?` * Appearance | undefined Optional object to style your components.

If Clerk's prebuilt components don't meet your specific needs or if you require more control over the logic, you can rebuild the existing Clerk flows using the Clerk API. For more information, see the [custom flow guides](/docs/guides/development/custom-flows/overview).
