## Introduction to Access Keys

<Warning>
You must be a billing or team admin to create and manage access keys. If you don't have the required permissions, contact your team admin to request access.
</Warning>

Access keys serve as authentication tokens needed to interact with a subset of Alchemy's suite of APIs. They enable you to access JSON-RPC APIs, NFT API and Gas Manager Admin API. Unlike API keys, access keys can be used in the [authentication header](/docs/how-to-use-api-keys-in-http-headers) of API requests for added security.
