Account management

Everything about your account, keys, and team lives in the web dashboard at realtimevoicekit.com. This page covers the account lifecycle for API users: signing up, managing rtvk_ keys, and working in a shared team workspace.

1. Sign up with your email and a password, or continue with Google or GitHub.
2. Verify your email address using the link we send you.
3. Open the API dashboard and create your first API key.

API keys are the only credential the REST API accepts. Each key is a secret string starting with rtvk_, scoped to your account, and stored by us only as a salted hash: the full secret is displayed once, at creation time, and can never be retrieved again.

Create a key

In the API dashboard, choose Create API key, give it a descriptive name (one per environment or service is a good habit), and copy the secret into your secret manager immediately.

Rotate a key

Rotation is zero-downtime because multiple keys can be active at once: create a new key, deploy it to your services, confirm traffic has moved, then revoke the old key.

Revoke a key

Revoke a key from the same dashboard page. Revocation is immediate: requests signed with a revoked key receive 401 Unauthorized. Revoke any key you suspect has leaked, then rotate your services onto a fresh one.

The Teams plan adds a shared workspace with seats for 5 members. The workspace owner invites teammates by email from the dashboard's team page; invited members join the shared workspace with their own login while billing stays with the owner's subscription.

See plans and pricing for what each tier includes. API usage remains metered per account as described in Billing and pricing.

The API dashboard shows your remaining credit, billable usage for the current period, and your most recent metered calls. The same numbers are available programmatically through GET /v2/credits, GET /v2/usage, and GET /v2/usage/summary, so you can build internal cost dashboards or per-customer usage tracking.
