Create Full Access Supermemory API Key

6 stepsAgent View (JSON)

Overview

Supermemory is a memory layer for AI agents that powers enterprise APIs and developer plugins. To use the Supermemory API programmatically—whether for adding memories, retrieving context, or integrating with your LLM—you must first generate an API key from the Supermemory console. This workflow creates a production-ready API key with full access permissions, allowing your application to make any authenticated request to the Supermemory platform. Full-access keys are suitable for trusted backend environments where you control the entire codebase and request logic.

Before you begin

  • An active Supermemory account with console access at console.supermemory.ai
  • Admin or owner role in your Supermemory workspace (required to create API keys)
  • A descriptive name or identifier for the API key (e.g., 'Production API Key', 'Backend Service Key')

Step by step

1
ClickCREATE KEY

Navigate to the API Keys section in the Supermemory console and initiate the key creation workflow by clicking the 'CREATE KEY' button. This opens the API key creation form where you will configure your new key.

Tip. If you already have API keys listed, the 'CREATE KEY' button is usually located in the top-right corner of the API Keys dashboard for quick access.
Step 1
2
ClickKey Name

Click into the 'Key Name' text field to activate it and prepare to enter a descriptive name for your API key. This name helps you identify the key's purpose in your workspace.

Tip. Use a clear, memorable name such as 'Production Backend', 'Development Environment', or 'Third-Party Integration' to make it easy to manage multiple keys.
Step 2
3
TypeKey Name

Type a descriptive name for your API key into the active text field. Choose a name that clearly identifies the key's intended use or environment.

4
ClickAPI Keys No API keys yet Create your first API key to start using the Supermemory API programmatically. CREATE KEY Create New API Key Choose which actions this API key will be authorized to perform. KEY NAME EXPIRES 1 Year PERMISSIONS Full Access Sco

Review the API key creation form to confirm that the permissions are set to 'Full Access' and the expiration is set to '1 Year'. The full-access permission level grants unrestricted authorization for all Supermemory API operations.

Tip. Full Access is appropriate for trusted backend services and development environments. For production use, consider whether you need all permissions or if scoped/limited permissions would be more secure for your use case.
Warning. Full Access API keys have unrestricted permissions. Store them securely and never commit them to version control or expose them in client-side code.
Step 4
5
ClickCREATE

Click the 'CREATE' button to generate your API key with full access permissions and a one-year expiration date. The system will immediately display your new key on screen.

Warning. Once you proceed past this step, the full API key will only be displayed once. You must copy it immediately—you cannot retrieve the full key again after closing this modal.
Step 5
6
ClickCOPY & CLOSE

Click the 'COPY & CLOSE' button to copy the generated API key to your clipboard and close the key creation modal. After copying, securely store the key in your application's environment variables or secure vault.

Tip. Test the key immediately in your application after pasting it to ensure it was copied correctly and works with your API requests. Use environment variables (e.g., SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY) rather than hardcoding the key in your source files.
Warning. This is your only chance to copy the key. If you close without copying, you will have to regenerate a new API key. Treat the key like a password—never share it or expose it in public repositories, logs, or error messages.
Step 6

Confirm it worked

  1. 1After clicking 'CREATE', a modal or confirmation screen displays your generated API key in full
  2. 2The API key is a long alphanumeric string ready for secure storage
  3. 3The key shows expiration date as exactly 1 year from creation
  4. 4After copying and closing, you return to the API Keys dashboard showing your newly created key listed with 'Full Access' permissions
