Create Key

After registering and signing in, create a key in the HCAI platform. This Key is the credential your AI coding tools use to access HCAI, so keep it safe.

Creation Steps

1. Sign in to the HCAI platform.
2. Open “API Keys”.
3. Click “Create Key”.
4. Create the key based on the model you want to use.
5. Create the token you need.
6. Save and copy the key.

Tip

Leave IP restrictions, quota limits, rate limits, and key expiration empty. You do not need to configure them unless you clearly understand what they do.
