To interact with Nevermined programmatically, you need a Nevermined API Key. This key is required for both:
- Payment Libraries (TypeScript SDK and Python SDK)
- REST API (direct HTTP calls)
Get Your API Key
Sign in to Nevermined App
Navigate to API Keys
Go to Settings > API Keys in your dashboard.
Generate a New Key
Click Generate and copy your new API key. It starts with nvm:.export NVM_API_KEY="nvm:your-api-key-here"
Keep your API key secure. Do not commit it to version control or share it publicly.
Choose Your Environment
Nevermined offers two environments:
| Environment | Purpose | Network |
|---|
| Sandbox | Testing and development | Base Sepolia |
| Live | Production | Base Mainnet |
