Create and protect an API key

Publish the API channel

Open the agent in Studio and select Channels > Product API. Enabling it provides the public AGENT_ID and a new API key. Save the key immediately; Studio does not show it again.

Configure the environment

INCEPTIVA_AGENT_ID=your_agent_id
INCEPTIVA_API_KEY=inc_live_...

Authorization: Bearer inc_live_...

Reduce exposure

Keep the key in a secret manager, restrict production variable access, configure rate and network limits, and never log authorization headers.

Rotate a key

Generate a new key, update every consumer, and verify integration. Rotation immediately invalidates the previous key.
