Create Full Access Nia API Key

5 stepsAgent View (JSON)

Overview

Nia is a Search & Index API platform for autonomous agents and AI applications. To authenticate your requests to Nia's API endpoints, you need an API key with appropriate permissions. This workflow guides you through creating a full-access API key via the Nia dashboard (app.trynia.ai) and immediately copying it to your clipboard for secure storage or integration setup. Full-access keys allow you to perform all operations available through Nia's API, including skill installation, search configuration, and advanced indexing. Your API key is sensitive—treat it like a password and never commit it to version control or expose it in client-side code.

Before you begin

  • An active account on app.trynia.ai. If you don't have one, create an account at app.trynia.ai.
  • Administrator or Owner role in your Nia organization to access API key management.
  • Access to the Nia dashboard Settings section via the sidebar menu.

Step by step

1
ClickCreate API key

Navigate to the API key management section and initiate key creation by clicking the 'Create API key' button. This button is typically found in Settings > API Keys on the Nia dashboard sidebar.

Tip. If you cannot find the 'Create API key' button, ensure you are logged into app.trynia.ai and have access to the Settings menu. Your user role must have permission to manage API keys.
Step 1
2
TypeKey Label

Enter a descriptive label for your API key in the 'Key Label' text field. Use a name that clearly indicates the key's purpose (e.g., 'Production MCP Client', 'Development Integration', 'Claude Desktop') so you can easily identify it later if you need to rotate or revoke it.

Tip. Choose a label that reflects where or how the key will be used. This helps you manage multiple keys and identify which ones are in active use. Labels are visible only to you in your API Keys list.
3
ClickCreate Key

Click the 'Create Key' button to generate your new full-access API key. Nia will create the key and display it on screen.

Tip. After clicking 'Create Key', the dialog will update to show your new API key. This is the only time you will see the full key value, so do not proceed past this screen without copying it.
Warning. You will not be able to view this key again after you close this dialog. If you lose it, you must create a new key. Take a moment to ensure you are ready to copy or save it.
Step 3
4
ClickCopy Key

Copy the generated API key to your clipboard by clicking the 'Copy Key' button. This button is typically located next to or below the displayed key value.

Tip. Most modern browsers will show a brief notification or confirmation that the key has been copied. If clipboard access is denied by your browser, you can manually select the key text and use Ctrl+C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+C (Mac) to copy it.
Step 4
5
ClickDone

Close the key creation dialog by clicking the 'Done' button. Your API key is now created, copied to clipboard, and ready to use in your applications, SDK configurations, or MCP client setups.

Tip. Paste your API key into your configuration files, environment variables, or password manager immediately while it is still in your clipboard. For sensitive integrations, store the key as an environment variable (e.g., `NIA_API_KEY`) rather than hardcoding it in source code.
Step 5

Confirm it worked

  1. 1A success dialog or notification appears confirming the API key was created.
  2. 2The API key is displayed on screen in a copyable format (typically 40+ characters starting with 'sk-proj-' or 'nk_').
  3. 3The 'Copy Key' button is present and clickable, confirming the key is ready to copy.
  4. 4After copying, your clipboard contains the full API key (verify by pasting in a text editor or environment variable configuration).
