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 Weaviate account

    Sign in to Weaviate. 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://console.weaviate.cloud/

  2. Create a cluster

    In the Weaviate Cloud console create a cluster.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
    • After: Sign in or create a Weaviate account
  3. Copy the REST endpoint

    Select the cluster and copy the REST endpoint URL from its dashboard.

    • Guided by hand
    • After: Create a cluster

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

  4. Create an API key

    In the cluster's API Keys section click + New key. Copy it now; it is the only time it is displayed.

    • Guided by hand
    • Human step: You press submit
