Getting Started
Create an API Key
API keys authenticate your application requests with NotLogs.
Generating Your Key
- Log in to the Dashboard.
- Navigate to the API Keys tab from the sidebar.
- Click “Create New Key”.
- Copy your secret key immediately. For security, the full secret value is never shown again after creation.
Key Format & Security
NotLogs API keys start with the prefix SEL_ or OML_, followed by the key UUID and a cryptographically secure 64-character secret.

Keys are hashed in our database using Argon2 password hashing. In-memory LRU and Redis caches ensure fast <1ms verification.
Storing in Environment Variables
Add your key to your .env.local or production environment variables:
.env.local
