API Key
groq / api-key
GroqCloud API keys authenticate requests to Groq's OpenAI-compatible API. Groq's quickstart documents exporting the key as GROQ_API_KEY and sending it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

CI/CD variables, cloud secret managers, hosted app settings
HTTP client debug logs and request dumps with Authorization headers
Notes
Groq exposes OpenAI-compatible endpoints, so Groq keys are often placed in code paths originally written for OpenAI-style clients. Check both provider-specific GROQ_API_KEY variables and generic LLM gateway config.
