# API Keys

## Generating a key

1. Sign in to your API Workspace at [voicelab360.com/dashboard/api](https://www.voicelab360.com/dashboard/api)
2. Navigate to **API Keys**
3. Select **Sandbox** or **Production** environment
4. Click **Generate Key**
5. Copy the full key immediately — it is shown only once

## Key format

| Environment | Prefix        | Example                |
| ----------- | ------------- | ---------------------- |
| Sandbox     | `vl360_test_` | `vl360_test_a1b2c3...` |
| Production  | `vl360_live_` | `vl360_live_e5f6g7...` |

Keys are 32 hex characters following the prefix.

## Rotating a key

Generate a new key and update your application before deleting the old one. Deletion is immediate and permanent — any requests using the deleted key fail instantly with no grace period.

## Key permissions

All keys carry the same permissions as the workspace plan. Workspace-level credit limits and rate limits apply to every key issued under that workspace.

<Warning>
  Never delete a key before confirming your application is using the replacement. There is no recovery after deletion.
