Publishable keys
Expose finished artifacts to the public safely — without ever sharing your API secret.
What they’re for
Sometimes you want a browser, a player, or a third party to fetch an artifact — a synthesized audio file or a subtitle track — without authenticating as you. A publishable key (prefixed pk_) grants scoped, read-only public access to a project’s artifacts.
Publishable, not secret
Unlike an API key, a publishable key is meant to be visible (e.g. in a web player). It can only read the artifacts it’s scoped to — it cannot create jobs, spend credits, or touch the rest of your account.
Managing keys
- Each key is scoped to a project and shows its prefix.
- Toggle a key’s status or revoke it at any time.
- Last-used time is tracked so you can spot stale keys.
Via the API
Publishable keys authenticate public artifact requests. See the API reference for how to fetch artifacts with a publishable key, and Integrations for where this fits in the official plugins.
