Obtaining the Vendor Key

Developers must obtain a Vendor Key. The key is required when you use APIs to access the Agora Global Network.

This section only describes how to use the Vendor Key directly, but you can also combine it with a sign key within your web server code to generate a more secure dynamic key

For why and how to use dynamic keys (recommended), see Using Dynamic Keys for Increased Security.

To obtain your vendor key:

Each Agora account can create multiple projects, and each project has a unique Vendor Key.

1. Sign up for a new account at https://dashboard.agora.io/.

2. Click ADD NEW on the PROJECTS page of the dashboard.

3. Fill in the Project Name and click SAVE..

Skip the Enable Sign Key if you do not use the Dynamic Key schema, and proceed with SAVE.

1. Find your Vendor Key(API Key) under the project that you have created.

Now you can start using Agora.io services.
