> **Need an API key?** API keys are created via the Cycles Admin Server (port 7979). See the [deployment guide](https://docs.runcycles.io/quickstart/deploying-the-full-cycles-stack#step-3-create-an-api-key) to create one, or run:
> ```bash
> curl -s -X POST http://localhost:7979/v1/admin/api-keys \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -H "X-Admin-API-Key: admin-bootstrap-key" \
> -d '{"tenant_id":"acme-corp","name":"dev-key","permissions":["reservations:create","reservations:commit","reservations:release","reservations:extend","reservations:list","balances:read","decide","events:create"]}' | jq -r '.key_secret'
> ```
> The key (e.g. `cyc_live_abc123...`) is shown only once — save it immediately. For key rotation and lifecycle details, see [API Key Management](https://docs.runcycles.io/how-to/api-key-management-in-cycles).
