Missing API Key
Use this page if the API Keys page shows No API Keys Yet, or you expected a key to appear after choosing a plan.
Symptoms
You may see:
- No API key in the dashboard.
- No key available in API Testing.
- A message asking you to activate a plan first.
- A paid checkout completed, but the key is not visible yet.
Likely Causes
Common causes include:
- You are signed in, but no plan has been activated.
- You have not clicked Get Started Free for the Free plan.
- Paid checkout has not completed.
- Paid checkout succeeded, but provisioning has not finished yet.
- You are signed in with a different account than the one used for checkout.
Signing in alone does not automatically create a Free plan or API key.
How to Check
- Open API Key Management.
- Confirm whether any API key cards are listed.
- Open Managing Subscriptions.
- Confirm whether an active plan is shown.
- If you used paid checkout, confirm that Stripe returned you to the dashboard successfully.
How to Fix
If you do not have an active plan:
- Open Managing Subscriptions.
- Choose the Free plan and click Get Started Free, or choose another available plan.
- Return to API Keys.
- Refresh the page.
If paid checkout succeeded but the key is still missing:
- Refresh the API Keys page.
- Wait a few seconds and refresh again.
- Confirm you are signed in with the same email used for checkout.
- Contact support if the key still does not appear.
