Steps

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

  1. Sign in or create a Fireworks AI account

    Sign in to Fireworks AI. If you have no account yet, you create it yourself; verapli does not create accounts.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You sign in

    Where: https://app.fireworks.ai/

  2. Create an API key

    In the dashboard go to Settings > API keys, click Create API key and store it safely as FIREWORKS_API_KEY.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign in or create a Fireworks AI account

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

    Where: https://app.fireworks.ai/settings/users/api-keys

  3. Set up billingoptional

    Add a payment method in the dashboard billing settings for paid usage (amounts and any free credit are not stated in the quickstart).

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You add payment details
    • After: Sign in or create a Fireworks AI account
