Steps

Steps marked “human step” are ones only you can do: verapli never signs in, submits, pays or accepts terms for you.

  1. Create an account and workspace

    The person signs up at app.blaxel.ai and creates a first workspace. verapli never creates the account.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit

    Where: https://app.blaxel.ai/

  2. Create an API key

    In Profile, Security create a personal API key (for production prefer a workspace service account). verapli captures it into BL_API_KEY and records the workspace name as BL_WORKSPACE. Locally, bl login is an alternative.

    • verapli co-pilot
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Create an account and workspace

    verapli captures BL_API_KEY here by plain code: encrypted in your browser, never shown to AI.

Terms and gotchas

Plain-English summary, not legal advice. Each card links its source.

Worth knowingThe rules say

API keys can be valid indefinitely; personal keys act as you across workspaces, so use a workspace service account in production and rotate keys yourself. [2]
