Liutong is currently available through organizational enrollment. Open signups are not available at this time.

## How enrollment works

Liutong access is provisioned through your organization's Azure enrollment. Your administrator will:

1. **Request access** through the Azure enrollment process.
2. **Receive API keys** prefixed with `lt_` for each team or application.
3. **Distribute keys** to developers who need access.

## Requesting access

Contact your organization's cloud or platform team to request Liutong API access. They will coordinate the enrollment through Azure and provision keys for your use case.

## What you receive

Once enrolled, you will receive:

- **An API key** starting with `lt_` — this is your credential for all API requests.
- **The base URL** — `https://api.liutong.llby.org/v1`
- **Access to all models** — `crimson-falcon-4`, `indigo-owl-4`, `amber-phoenix-4`, and `jade-mole-4`.

## After enrollment

Once you have your API key:

1. Follow the [Quickstart](/docs/getting-started/quickstart) to make your first request.
2. Store your key securely using environment variables — see [Authentication](/docs/getting-started/authentication).
3. Explore the available [Models](/docs/models/overview).

## Key management

API keys can be rotated or revoked by your administrator. If you suspect a key has been compromised, contact your admin immediately to issue a new one.

## Questions?

Reach out to your organization's platform team for enrollment questions or key provisioning.
