Create API Key

To use Pimlico's services, you'll need an API key. We recommend using our CLI for the quickest setup, but you can also use the dashboard.

Using the CLI (Recommended)

With the Pimlico CLI installed, log in and create a key:

pimlico login
pimlico keys create --name my-app

pimlico keys create shows the new key once, so add it to your project's .env file right away.

Using the Dashboard

Alternatively, you can create an API key through our web dashboard:

  1. Go to the Pimlico Dashboard
  2. Sign up or log in to your account
  3. Click API Keys in the sidebar
  4. Click Create API key
  5. Copy your API key and add it to your project's .env file

Next Steps

Once you have your API key:

  • Add it to your .env file as PIMLICO_API_KEY=your_key_here
  • Start building with our tutorials
