Prerequisites

Complete these steps before using W&B Training features through the OpenPipe ART framework or API.

Before starting, review the usage information and limits to understand costs and restrictions.

To authenticate your machine with W&B, you must first generate an API key. To create an API key, select the Personal API key or Service Account API key tab for details.

Personal API key
Service account API key

To create a personal API key owned by your user ID:

Navigate to User Settings and log in if necessary.
Click Create new API key.
Provide a descriptive name for your API key.
Click Create.
Copy the displayed API key immediately and store it securely.

To create an API key owned by a service account:

Navigate to the Service Accounts tab in your team or organization settings.
Find the service account in the list.
Click the action menu (...), then click Create API key.
Provide a name for the API key, then click Create.
Copy the displayed API key immediately and store it securely.
Click Done.

You can create multiple API keys for a single service account to support different environments or workflows.

The full API key is only shown once at creation time. After you close the dialog, you cannot view the full API key again. Only the key ID (first part of the key) is visible in your settings. If you lose the full API key, you must create a new API key.

For secure storage options, see Store API keys securely.

Create a project in W&B

Create a project in your W&B account to track usage, record training metrics, and save trained models. See the Projects guide for more information.
