ElevenLabs API Key Setup
Guide the user through obtaining and configuring an ElevenLabs API key.
Workflow
Step 0: Check for an existing API key first
Before asking the user for a key, check for an existing ELEVENLABS API KEY :
1. Check whether ELEVENLABS API KEY exists in the current environment.
2. If it's not in the environment, check .env for ELEVENLABS API KEY=<value .
3. If an existing key is found, validate it :
4. If existing key validation succeeds:
Tell the user ElevenLabs is already configured and working
Skip the setup flow
Ask whether they want to replace/rotate the key; if not, stop
5. If existing key validation fails:
Tell the user the existing key appears invalid or expired
Continue to Step 1
Step 1: Request the API key
Tell the user:
To set up ElevenLabs, open the API keys page: https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api keys
(Need an account? Create one at https://elevenlabs.io/app/sign up first)
If you don't have an API key yet:
1. Click "Create key"
2. Name it (or use the default)
3. Set permission for your key. If you provide a key with "User" permission set to "Read" this skill will automatically verify if your key works
4. Click "Create key" to confirm
5. Copy the key immediately it's only shown once!
Paste your API key here when ready.
Then wait for the user's next message which should contain the API key.
Step 2: Validate and configure
Once the user provides the API key:
1. Validate the key by making a request:
2. If validation fails:
Tell the user the API key appears to be invalid
Ask them to try again
Remind them of the URL: https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api keys
If it fails a second time, display an error and exit
3. If validation succeeds , save the API key in a .env file:
If .env already has ELEVENLABS API KEY=... , replace that line
Otherwise add a new line for ELEVENLABS API KEY
4. Confirm success:
Done! Your key is stored as an environment variable in .env
Keep the key safe! Don't share it with anyone!
