Create an API key

View Markdown

Install the CLI first, then use zerocool auth login to create and save its API key. Anyone signed in can approve the login. Manual key creation in the portal is optional.

Ask your agent

Help me set up the Zero Cool CLI with an API key.

The agent runs zerocool auth login and gives you a link. Open it where you are signed in, choose the key's Scope, Role and Expires, and select Approve. The CLI then uses the new key. Never paste a key into the chat.

In the portal

  1. Open the account menu and select Profile.
  2. In API keys, select Create API key.
  3. Enter a Name that says where you use the key.
  4. Choose the Scope: one workspace or All workspaces.
  5. Choose the Role: the viewer role to read, the member role to start audits, the admin role for admin tasks.
  6. Choose when it Expires: 30 days, 90 days or 1 year.
  7. Select Create key, then Copy key. You cannot view the key again.

To revoke a key, select Revoke next to it, then confirm Revoke.

zerocool auth login prints a link. Open it where you are signed in, choose the key's scope, role and expiry, and select Approve. To save a key that you already have, pipe it to zerocool auth login --with-key-stdin. API keys covers rotation, revocation and safe storage.
