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 Parallel Web Systems account

    Sign in to Parallel Web Systems. 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://platform.parallel.ai/

  2. Create an API key

    On the Parallel platform create an API key and set PARALLEL_API_KEY, or run stripe projects add parallel/api.

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

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

    Where: https://platform.parallel.ai/
