API: How Do I Get An API Key?

Access to EDITED's data is subscription-based, so the first step is always to talk to your Customer Success team to get set up.

How you connect then depends on how you want to use the data:

• To build (the API, or AI agents through MCP): you will use an access key. Your Customer Success team provisions it and typically sends it by email.
• To chat (MCP inside a supported AI assistant): you sign in through your AI tool using OAuth, so there is no key to manage. Your user needs to be entitled to MCP on your subscription, and your organization's admin may need to approve the connection. The chat section of the developer portal (build.edited.com/chat) has the supported assistants and the connection steps.

Not sure which you need? See MCP or the API to choose.
