Open Developers → API Keys. The page heading is Platform API Keys. These keys authenticate automation against https://console.neuronsearchlab.com/api; application traffic uses SDK credentials.

​
Create a key

  1. Select New API key and enter a name that identifies its application.
  2. Choose an environment: production, staging, dev or test. This is an organisational label, not a separate workspace.
  3. Choose the scopes needed by the routes you will call.
  4. Create the key and copy its full value from the reveal dialog. It is displayed once.
  5. Store it on your server or in your MCP client’s secret configuration.

Scopes

A scope name does not grant access to every similarly named route. Check the operation’s authentication requirements in the Platform API reference. A valid key with insufficient scope receives 403. For example, list rules using a key with admin scope:

Review and revoke

The table shows the key name, visible prefix, environment, scopes, last-use time and status. Use the prefix to identify a key without exposing its full value. Select Revoke to disable a key. To rotate one, create and deploy its replacement first, verify access, then revoke the original. Check Activity when investigating configuration changes. Keep keys private. A publishable website key is a separate credential with a narrower purpose; see Website embed.
