Your Metorial API key authenticates your application with Metorial's platform and gives you access to 600+ integrations.

Steps to Get Your API Key

1. Sign Up for Metorial

Visit metorial.com and create an account if you haven't already.

2. Access Your Dashboard

Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard. You'll find the API keys section in your account settings or developer settings.

3. Generate a New API Key

Click on "Create API Key" or "Generate New Key". Give your key a descriptive name so you can identify it later (e.g., "Production App" or "Development Environment").

4. Copy and Store Securely

Your API key will be displayed once. Copy it immediately and store it securely. For security reasons, you won't be able to see the full key again.

Using Your API Key

In Your Code

Store your API key in environment variables, never hardcode it:

const metorial = new Metorial({
  apiKey: process.env.METORIAL_API_KEY
});

Environment Variables

Create a .env file in your project root:

METORIAL_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

Important: Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent accidentally committing your API key.

Security Best Practices

• Never share your API key publicly
• Use different API keys for development and production
• Rotate your keys regularly
• Revoke keys immediately if they're compromised
• Use environment variables or secret management services
