Account and workspace key

Create an account through EvalRouter's hosted sign-up flow and complete email verification. Use workspace API keys to create a key for evaluation reads and writes in your selected workspace.

The CLI uses an existing workspace key. Account creation happens in the browser; the CLI does not collect your password or complete browser login.

Configure these environment variables through your secret manager or private shell environment:

• EVALROUTER_API_KEY: the workspace key's secret value.
• EVALROUTER_WORKSPACE_ID: that workspace's ID.
• EVALROUTER_BASE_URL: https://api.evalrouter.ai, without /v1.

Do not include credentials in command arguments, URLs, source control, screenshots or shared logs. Revoke a key in the same settings page when it is no longer needed. A key grants only its workspace permissions; it does not add credit or make an unavailable evaluation runnable.

For an invalid or expired key, check the selected workspace and key status before trying again. Do not create a new evaluation merely to diagnose authentication. Continue with the CLI quickstart.
