# Create

> Create a LiteLLM API Key Rotation for the specified project.

<Note>
  Check out the configuration docs for [LiteLLM API Key Rotations](/documentation/platform/secret-rotation/litellm-api-key) to learn how to obtain the required parameters.
</Note>

Creates a LiteLLM API Key secret rotation. Infisical will create and rotate API keys via your [LiteLLM connection](/integrations/app-connections/litellm) and write them to the specified secret path.
