**Create an API key to authenticate requests from your own code to the AgentSky API.**

API keys let your scripts and applications call the AgentSky API on your behalf. Each key is tied to your account and can be scoped to a workspace.

**How to create a key:**

1. Open Settings › Team › API.
2. Select API keys.
3. Click **New key**.
4. Give the key a name (for example, "my-automation" or "production").
5. Copy the key immediately — it is shown only once.

Where: Settings › Team › API (web and Mac). You can also navigate directly to the Developer & API section from the left rail.

**How to use a key:**

Add it as a bearer token on every API request:

```
Authorization: Bearer <your-key>
```

**Good to know:** Credit earned through connecting apps (connector credit) cannot be spent via API keys — only purchased balance applies to API usage. To revoke a key, return to Settings › Team › API › API keys and delete it.
