Stream app API key api_key Get key ↗

Create or open an app in the Stream Dashboard. Copy the app API key from the dashboard; Stream docs say the API key and secret are found in the dashboard and requests include api_key as a query parameter.

Stream JWT token jwt

Generate a JWT signed with your Stream app secret from your backend, using the API key/secret from the Stream Dashboard. Stream docs describe sending Authorization: <token> together with Stream-Auth-Type: jwt; for feeds/video the request also includes api_key as a query parameter. For client apps, mint user tokens from your own token provider endpoint.
