Docs - Integrations and advanced setup
Account credentials and API keys
Understand when credentials are needed and where they belong.
Most users can start without API keys. Credentials are needed for advanced provider billing, connected services, or integrations that require access to outside accounts.
How to use this
- 1Start without keys unless a feature asks for them.
- 2Use Account settings for supported credential setup.
- 3Store production service secrets in the production host.
- 4Rotate keys if a credential is exposed or no longer needed.
Keep in mind
- Free and Pro use hosted credits for AI work.
- Team can use advanced provider-key setup.
- Never paste live keys into public documentation or screenshots.
