Navigate to your API settings and create a new API key.
Your API key will only be shown once. Store it securely and never commit it to version control.
Your API key will look like this:
vpk_live_aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ123456
Want to build and test your integration for free? Create a sandbox key (vpk_test_…) from the same dashboard instead of (or in addition to) a live key. Sandbox keys exercise the identical request, validation, async lifecycle, and signed-webhook surface as live keys, but spend zero credits and return a watermarked sample video. See Test Mode for the full sandbox workflow.
Use the following command to create a slideshow video. Replace vpk_live_xxxxx with your actual API key — or vpk_test_xxxxx to run the same request for free against the sandbox.
