If you're a user with a Master admin, Admin or Technical admin role, you can find your API keys and other credentials on the API Keys page of the Cloudinary Console Settings:
These credentials include your:
- Cloud Name: The product environment identifier.
- API Key and API Secret: Needed to configure your SDK or to directly run API requests.
-
API environment variable: A string that combines all three credential values. Copy the API environment variable format from the API Keys page of the Cloudinary Console Settings. Replace
<your_api_key>
and<your_api_secret>
with your actual values, while your cloud name is already correctly included in the format.
If you need only your cloud name, such as for configuring a frontend SDK, you can find that on the Dashboard.
Managing product environment API keys
You can manage your API keys in the API Keys page of the Console Settings, including adding, activating, disabling, and naming API keys.
You can also configure granular API key permissions for your API keys, so that different developers can be given access to specific Upload and Admin API methods, but not others. Customers on a paid plan can contact support to enable this feature.
Managing API keys with the Provisioning API
Enterprise accounts that have the Provisioning API enabled can use it to programmatically create and manage API keys using the access_keys
endpoint and product environments using the subaccounts
endpoint, as well as users and user groups. To use the Provisioning API, you need a dedicated API key, which can be found in the Account page of the Cloudinary Console Settings.
