How do I get an API key?

Log in to ElevenLabs, go to Profile or Settings → API keys (or Developers), create a new key, copy it, and store it securely. Use it in the xi-api-key header or ElevenLabs client libraries.

Can I use one account for Creative Platform and Agents Platform?

Yes. The same account grants access to Creative Platform (TTS, cloning, music) and Agents Platform, depending on your plan.

Where should I store my API key securely?

Store it in environment variables or a secrets manager (e.g., ELEVENLABS_API_KEY). Never commit the key to code or expose it in client-side applications.

ElevenLabs Open Account

Quick start

Ensure the user has (or will create) an ElevenLabs account (sign up with affiliate link).
For API access (TTS, STT, agents), get an API key from the profile/settings after logging in (see "Getting an API key" below).
For Creative Platform (speech, music, cloning) or Agents Platform, use the same account; access depends on plan.

Opening an ElevenLabs account

Use this workflow when the user needs to open or sign up for an ElevenLabs account (voice AI, text-to-speech, agents, or API).

Checklist:

Open ElevenLabs sign-up: Get started with ElevenLabs
Click Sign up (or Log in if the user already has an account).
Complete registration (email, password, etc.) and any verification.
After logging in, the user can use the Creative Platform, Agents Platform, or get an API key for developers.

Steps:

Navigate to https://try.elevenlabs.io/ipu2xmg9cwqu to sign up or start a free trial.
Click Sign up (or Log in if the user already has an account).
Enter the required details (email, password, etc.) and submit.
Complete any email verification or onboarding the platform requests.
After logging in, the user has an ElevenLabs account and can use the Creative Platform (text-to-speech, music, voice cloning, etc.) or the Agents Platform (conversational voice/chat agents). For API access, see "Getting an API key" below.

Getting an API key

Use this after the user has an ElevenLabs account and needs to call the API (e.g. from code, clawdbot, or integrations).

Checklist:

Log in at ElevenLabs (or the app URL from sign-up).
Go to Profile or Settings → API keys (e.g. elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys or Developers section).
Create an API key; copy it and store it securely.
Use the key in the xi-api-key header or in the official client libraries; never commit it to code or this skill.

Steps:

Log in to your ElevenLabs account.
Open Settings (or Profile) and find API keys (or Developers).
Create a new API key; optionally set scope and credit limits.
Copy the key immediately (it may not be shown again). Store in environment variables (e.g. ELEVENLABS_API_KEY) or a secrets manager.
Use it in requests: header xi-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY, or via the official ElevenLabs client libraries. Never expose the key in client-side code or version control.

Examples

Example 1 – User wants to try ElevenLabs voice AI

User says: "I want to try ElevenLabs for voiceovers."
Agent applies this skill: walk through "Opening an ElevenLabs account" using the sign-up link. After they have an account, they can use the Creative Platform in the browser for text-to-speech, voice cloning, or music.

Example 2 – User wants an API key for their bot

User says: "I need an ElevenLabs API key for my agent."
Agent applies this skill: confirm they have an account; if not, use "Opening an ElevenLabs account" with the sign-up link. Then guide "Getting an API key" (Settings → API keys, create key, store securely). Remind them to use the key only server-side.

Overview

This skill guides agents through signing up for ElevenLabs, accessing the Creative and Agents platforms, and obtaining an API key for developers. It covers the sign-up flow, account verification, and secure API key management to power voice AI, TTS, and integrations.

How This Skill Works

Users start at the ElevenLabs sign-up URL, complete registration, and log in. For API access, navigate to Profile/Settings > API keys, create a key, copy it immediately, and store it securely. Use the key in the xi-api-key header or via official client libraries; never commit the key to code or client-side apps.

When to Use It

When a user needs to open or sign up for an ElevenLabs account for voice AI, text-to-speech, or agents
When a user needs to obtain an API key for calling the ElevenLabs API from code, bots, or integrations
When a user wants to access the Creative Platform or Agents Platform under the same ElevenLabs account
When configuring an integration (e.g., clawdbot/moltbot/open claw) that requires ElevenLabs API access
When ensuring secure handling and correct usage of the API key (server-side use, no exposure in client code)

Quick Start

Step 1: Navigate to https://try.elevenlabs.io/ipu2xmg9cwqu to sign up or start a free trial
Step 2: Click Sign up (or Log in if you already have an account)
Step 3: Enter required details, complete verification, and you’ll have access to Creative/Agents platforms and API keys

Best Practices

Start the process with the sign-up link provided (sign up or log in as needed)
Complete email verification and any onboarding steps on first login
Create a new API key, then copy it immediately and store it securely
Store API keys in a secrets manager or environment variables; never hard-code or expose in client-side code
Use the xi-api-key header or official ElevenLabs client libraries for requests

Example Use Cases

Example 1 – User wants to try ElevenLabs voice AI: sign up via the link, then access the Creative Platform to test TTS and cloning features
Example 2 – User needs an API key for their bot: sign up or log in, create API key, copy and store securely, and integrate in server-side code
Example 3 – Developer integrating ElevenLabs API: sign in, generate an API key, set ELEVENLABS_API_KEY in the environment, and call the API with xi-api-key
Example 4 – User with existing account wants access to both Creative and Agents platforms: log in and use both platforms under the same account
Example 5 – Integrating clawdbot/moltbot/open claw: sign up, obtain API key, and configure the integration to authenticate requests
