API keys
An API key lets a script, an app or an AI tool act on your Schedule & Chill account. You only need one if a tool asks for a key. For Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code, the one-link option on Connect AI Tool needs no key — see Connect your AI tool.
Keep your keys safe
- A key gives full access to your account: posts, channels and media.
- Keys do not expire. They work until you delete them.
- Treat a key like a password. Don't paste it into shared documents or public code.
- Use one key per tool, so you can revoke one without breaking the others.
Create a key
From Connect AI Tool:
- In the left menu, click Connect AI Tool.
- Under Create a key, click Create key. It is named automatically, like "API key 1".
- Copy it right away. You won't see it again.
- To rename it, click Rename in the key list.
From Settings:
- Click your name at the bottom of the left menu, then Settings, then API Keys.
- Click Create your first key (or the create button).
- Optional: type a Key Name, for example "Claude Desktop".
- Copy the key right away with Copy.
Revoke a key
- On Connect AI Tool: click the trash icon next to the key and confirm Revoke this key? Any tool using it stops working.
- On Settings → API Keys: click the trash icon and confirm.
Any tool using that key stops working at once.
Lost a key?
Keys can't be shown again. Create a new key, update your tool, and delete the old one.
