Overview

To authenticate with Radar, you need:
  1. API Key - A Secret or Publishable key from your Radar dashboard.
This guide will show you where to find it.

Prerequisites

  • A Radar account. Radar does not offer a free tier, and every plan starts with a quote: contact Radar to get access.

Step 1: Copy your API key

  1. Log in to the Radar dashboard.
  2. Open the Settings page.
  3. Copy the key you need. Use a Live key for production and a Test key for testing and non-production environments:
    • Live Secret or Test Secret key (starts with prj_live_sk_ or prj_test_sk_). Endpoints with the Secret authentication level, such as listing users, are only safe to call server-side with a Secret key.
    • Live Publishable or Test Publishable key (starts with prj_live_pk_ or prj_test_pk_). Use it for endpoints with the Publishable authentication level.

  2. Paste your key in the API Key field.
