API Keys - ARC-AGI-3 Docs

Why Get an API Key?

Registering for an API key allows you to:

Track your progress across games and sessions
Access the full list of games when launch goes out

How to Get Your API Key

Go to arcprize.org/platform
Register by logging in with either Google or GitHub
Click on your user profile in the top right corner
In your user profile, find the API Keys section
Create a new key and copy its value

Once you have your key, assign it to ARC_API_KEY in your environment or .env file. Registered keys provide access to the full set of public games available on the platform.

Using Your API Key

Set your API key as an environment variable:

export ARC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Or add it to a .env file in your project:

echo 'ARC_API_KEY=your-api-key-here' > .env

The toolkit will automatically load your key from the environment when you create an Arcade instance:

import arc_agi

# Automatically uses ARC_API_KEY from environment
arc = arc_agi.Arcade()

# Or pass the API key explicitly
arc = arc_agi.Arcade(arc_api_key="your-api-key-here")
