- api_key string Required
  
  A valid API key of your Mistral account. You can find your Mistral API keys or you can create a new one on the API Keys page.
  
  IMPORTANT: You need to provide the API key only once, during the inference model creation. The get inference endpoint API does not retrieve your API key. After creating the inference model, you cannot change the associated API key. If you want to use a different API key, delete the inference model and recreate it with the same name and the updated API key.
