Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further.
The API Keys page lets you create and manage keys used to authenticate with the Cloud SDK, the REST API, and agent connections.
Create a key
- Click Create API key.
- The key is generated and displayed. Copy it immediately — it is shown only once.
Manage keys
The page lists all active keys with their creation date. To revoke a key, click the delete icon next to it. Revoked keys stop working immediately.
Store API keys in environment variables or a secrets manager. Do not hardcode them in source files.
Usage
Pass the API key in requests:
Python SDK:
import cognee
await cognee.serve(
url="https://your-tenant.aws.cognee.ai",
api_key="your-key"
)
REST API:
curl -H "X-Api-Key: your-key" https://your-tenant.aws.cognee.ai/api/v1/datasets/
Python SDK (serve mode):
import cognee
await cognee.serve(url="https://your-tenant.aws.cognee.ai", api_key="your-key")
See Cloud SDK for the full setup guide.
