Authentication

There are two credentials with different jobs.

Credential	Where it lives	Purpose
`INKIBRA_API_KEY`	Your server	Creates and funds Live Voice sessions
Session token	Browser memory	Opens one short-lived hosted voice session

Never put INKIBRA_API_KEY in browser code, a public environment variable, or a client bundle.

CLI authorization

npx @inkibra/voice-cli init uses a device authorization flow. The CLI opens the developer portal, waits for the signed-in developer to approve access, then stores a temporary CLI session locally. The newly created API key is written directly to .env.local and is not printed.

bash

123npx @inkibra/voice-cli whoami
npx @inkibra/voice-cli keys create
npx @inkibra/voice-cli logout

The local CLI session can manage API keys for your account. Revoke it by signing out with logout, and rotate any application key that may have been exposed.
