API Keys

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.

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.

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.
