Setup

Setup basics for REST API and Cloutly Embed.

1. Create a Cloutly account

Set up your Cloutly account and required features in the platform.

2. Retrieve your REST API key

Go to Settings -> API Keys and copy your API key.

The API key is server-side only. Do not expose it in frontend code.

3. Retrieve your Embed signing key

Go to platform settings and manually retrieve/create the signing key used to sign embed JWTs.

Keep the signing key in secure backend secrets storage only.

4. Configure your integration

Use both credentials depending on your use case:

• x-api-key for REST API calls from your backend.

• Embed signing key for short-lived JWT session provisioning.
