# Managing API keys

API keys in KushoAI allow secure authentication when running tests from your CI/CD pipelines. They ensure your test suites execute automatically with every commit without manual setup.

Note: Always keep your keys private and avoid exposing them in public repositories. They can only be accessed once at the time of creation, ensuring stronger security.

1. Click on the API keys under the Manage Workspace tab. Click on Create API Key.

2. Enter the name of your API key and then click on Generate.

3. Your API Key will be generated. Note: The API key won't be shown again, so please save it somewhere.

Your API key is now ready to use in your CI/CD pipelines for secure and seamless test executions.
