Get Your API Key

Your key is generated when you activate a plan. It's tied to that plan's usage allowance, request limit, and renewal cycle.

Find and copy it​

API Keys → click the eye icon to reveal → Copy. It re-hides after five seconds.

No key and the page says No API Keys Yet? Activate a plan first. Just activated and nothing showing? Click Refresh, confirm the plan is active on Subscriptions, wait a few seconds.

Treat it like a password

Never commit it, paste it into support messages or screenshots, or use it in browser-side code.

Store it​

# Guardian Layer (curl / raw API)
export CUSTODIAN_API_KEY="..."

# SDKs
export CUSTODIAN_SDK_API_KEY="..."

In production, use your platform's secret manager (Vercel env vars, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.).
