Request a free sandbox API key (sends a verification email)

Starts self-serve key issuance. A one-time claim token is emailed to the address you supply; POST it to /v1/keys/claim to receive the key. No key is returned here, and the response is the same whether or not that address already has an account — so this endpoint cannot be used to find out who has one. The email is verified because your account, your usage and your invoice are all keyed to it: issuing on an unverified address would let anyone mint a working key on your account and spend your allowance. Keep using the same address and a paid plan bought with it raises the keys you already hold rather than issuing new ones. Distributed integrations may identify their discovery surface with the optional source object or x-integration-source header; invalid source values are ignored and never block key issuance.
