Cognee Cloud uses OAuth for authentication. No passwords to manage.
Cognee Cloud supports Google and GitHub sign-in. A 14-day free trial starts automatically — no payment information required to sign up. If you do not add a payment method before the trial ends, your trial subscription is cancelled automatically.

​

Free trial starts

Your account is created with a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required to start. If no payment method is added before the trial ends, the trial is cancelled automatically.

​
Generate an API key

API keys authenticate requests from the Cloud SDK, the REST API, and agent connections.
  1. In the sidebar, open API Keys.
  2. Click Create API key.
  3. Copy the key and store it securely. It is shown only once.
Treat API keys like passwords. Do not commit them to version control. Use environment variables (COGNEE_API_KEY) instead.
