Do this with verapliJSON for agents

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 Liveblocks account

    Sign in to Liveblocks. 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://liveblocks.io/dashboard

  2. Create a project

    Create a Liveblocks project in the dashboard.

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

  3. Copy the secret key

    Copy the project's secret API key for your auth endpoint (ID tokens). Use the public key only for prototypes.

    • Guided by hand
    • After: Create a project

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