Credentials

Set these per environment. See Connect an integration.

Setup

  1. Sign in to Render: Go to https://dashboard.render.com and sign in (the free tier with one web service is sufficient for testing).
  2. Create an API key: Open Account Settings > API Keys (https://dashboard.render.com/settings#api-keys) and create a key.
  3. Set the environment variable: Add the key to your .env as RENDER_API_KEY=…
  4. Verify access: Run List Services and note the srv-… IDs for use with the other tools.

Provider notes

  • Keys are sent as ‘Authorization: Bearer <key>’
  • List responses are arrays of wrapper objects ({ service, cursor } / { deploy, cursor }); pass the last cursor back to paginate
  • API keys grant the full permissions of your user account - store them securely
