## Create a key

Open **Settings > API Key Management** and click **+ Create API Key** in the top-right. The dialog asks for:

| Field           | Value                                                                                              |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description** | Enter a key name that helps you recognize it later (for example, `prod-inference` or `local-dev`). |
| **Scope**       | Defaults to **Inference**. Leave it set unless you have a reason to change.                        |

Click **Create Key** to generate the key, or **Close** to cancel.

<Warning>
  Treat API keys as secrets. The full value is only shown when the key is created. Copy and store it immediately. If you lose it, you must create a new one.
</Warning>
