# S3 credentials

Select **API** > **S3 Credentials** (`{CONSOLE_REGION_URL}/papi/s3-credentials`) to manage your S3-compatible object storage credentials.

S3 credentials are EC2-compatible access keys tied to your user account. Unlike application credentials, which are scoped to a single project, S3 credentials work across your Quake AI projects. Use them with S3-compatible tools such as the AWS CLI, `s3cmd`, `rclone`, and `boto3`.

## Credential list

The S3 Credentials page lists your credentials in a table:

| Column | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **ID/Name** | Unique identifier and the name you assign at creation |
| **Project** | The project associated with the credential |
| **Access Key / Secret Key** | The access key in plain text and the secret key masked, each with its own copy icon |
| **Action** | The per-row settings menu |

To copy a key, select the copy icon next to the access key or secret key in the **Access Key / Secret Key** column.

## Available actions

| Action | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Create S3 Credential** | Generate a new access key and secret key pair |
| **s3cmd config** | Download an `s3cmd` configuration file (`.cfg`) for the credential, from the per-row settings menu |
| **Delete** | Permanently revoke the credential |

## Create dialog

The **Create S3 Credential** dialog has one required field, **Name**. Select **OK** to generate the credential, or **Cancel** to dismiss the dialog.

After generation, the console displays the credential once and provides:

- The **Access** and **Secret** values for the credential.
- A downloadable `s3cmd` configuration file (`.cfg`) named after the credential.
- A **Close** button to dismiss the dialog.



The console shows the access key and secret key only once. Copy both values, or download the `s3cmd` configuration file, before you close the dialog. If you lose the secret key, delete the credential and create a new one. Store your credentials securely, and do not commit them to version control.



## S3 endpoint

Configure S3 tools with the endpoint for your region (for example, `https://object.us-west-1.rumble.cloud`). Replace `us-west-1` with `us-east-1` or `us-east-2` if your project is in a different region. See [Service Endpoints](/docs/tools/service-endpoints) for region endpoints and dual-protocol access details.
