AWS Bedrock Integration

AWS Bedrock is Amazon's fully managed service that provides access to foundation models from leading AI companies. This guide shows how to create AWS Bedrock Long-Term API Keys and integrate them with LLM API.

Prerequisites

An AWS account with Bedrock access enabled
LLM API account

Overview

AWS Bedrock supports Long-Term API Keys for simplified authentication. These keys provide direct API access without requiring IAM credentials or complex authentication flows.

Create AWS Bedrock Long-Term API Key

Enable Model Access in Bedrock

Log into the AWS Console
Navigate to AWS Bedrock service
Go to Model access in the left sidebar
Click Manage model access
Enable the models you want to use (e.g., Claude 3.5, Llama 3)
Wait for access to be granted (usually instant for most models)

Create Long-Term API Key

In AWS Bedrock console, navigate to API Keys in the left sidebar
Click Create Long-Term API Key
Set expiry date ("Never expires" is recommended)
Click Generate
Important: Copy the API key immediately - it's only shown once!

Add to LLM API

Navigate to Provider Keys

Log into LLM API Dashboard
Select your organization and project
Go to Provider Keys in the sidebar

Add AWS Bedrock Provider Key

Click Add for AWS Bedrock
Paste your Long-Term API Key
Select Region Prefix based on where you want to use your models:
- us. - For US regions (us-east-1, us-west-2)
- eu. - For European regions (eu-central-1, eu-west-1)
- global. - For global/cross-region endpoints
Click Add Key

The system will validate your key and confirm the connection.

Test the Integration

Test your integration with a simple API call:

curl -X POST https://api.llmapi.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LLM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "aws-bedrock/claude-3-5-sonnet",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "Hello from AWS Bedrock!"
      }
    ]
  }'

Replace YOUR_LLM_API_KEY with your LLM API key.

Available Models

Once configured, you can access all AWS Bedrock models through LLM API:

Anthropic Claude: aws-bedrock/claude-3-5-sonnet, aws-bedrock/claude-3-5-haiku
Meta Llama: aws-bedrock/llama-3-2-90b, aws-bedrock/llama-3-2-11b
Amazon Titan: aws-bedrock/amazon.titan-text-express-v1
And more...

Browse all available models at llmapi.ai/models

Multi-Region Routing

AWS Bedrock requests can be routed to different regional deployments on a per-request basis via the X-LLMAPI-Region header. See the Multi-Region feature page for details.
