API Keys

Generate a key

Via the CLI:

curl -X POST https://api.get-nimbus.com/keys/generate \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-key"}'

Response:

{
  "id": "key_abc123",
  "key": "nim-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "name": "my-key",
  "created_at": "2026-04-26T00:00:00Z"
}

Save the key value — it's only shown once.

You can also generate keys from the dashboard at get-nimbus.com/dashboard under Keys.

Store your key

export NIMBUS_API_KEY=nim-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Add this to your shell profile for persistence.

Use with the CLI

# Via environment variable (recommended)
nimbus run "task" --backend https://api.get-nimbus.com

# Via flag
nimbus run "task" --backend https://api.get-nimbus.com --api-key nim-...
