You don’t upload an ElevenLabs API key anywhere. You generate it in the dashboard and send it with each API request (HTTP header xi-api-key) or configure it in your SDK/app (e.g., via an ELEVENLABS_API_KEY environment variable).

  • Create/manage keys: Dashboard → Developers → API Keys tab. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Use the key in requests: include header xi-api-key: YOUR_KEY. (elevenlabs.io)
  • Recommended app setup: store the key as a managed secret/env var (ELEVENLABS_API_KEY) and pass it to the SDK. (elevenlabs.io)
  • For workspace-level/service-account keys: Workspace settings → Service Accounts. (elevenlabs.io)

How do I code in mobile like every time I click on the codings it doesn’t let me do anything like where is the real coding? And what happens after the request is successful what’s gonna happen?

Short answer:

  • The “coding” on elevenlabs.io are example snippets. You don’t run them in the mobile browser. You call the API from your own app (or backend) using HTTP or WebSocket, or via the official Python/Node SDKs. (elevenlabs.io)

How to use it from a mobile app (high level):

  • Authenticate
    • Do not embed your API key in the app. The docs require sending your key in the xi-api-key header and explicitly advise against exposing keys in client apps. Use your backend to call ElevenLabs, or mint a short‑lived Single Use Token for client‑side sessions. (elevenlabs.io)
  • Text to Speech over HTTPS
    • POST /v1/text-to-speech/{voice_id} with your text, model_id, etc. On success, the response body is the generated audio file. Default output is MP3; PCM and μ‑law are also available. Your app is responsible for playing or saving the returned audio bytes. (elevenlabs.io)
  • Low‑latency/streaming options
    • HTTP streaming: selected endpoints return raw audio bytes via chunked transfer so you can start playback as audio is generated. (elevenlabs.io)
    • WebSocket TTS: wss://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/{voice_id}/stream-input streams audio in real time from partial text; supports single_use_token auth for client use. (elevenlabs.io)
  • After a successful request
    • You receive audio data (binary bytes). Additionally, response headers can include metadata like x-character-count and request-id so you can track usage/cost per request. (elevenlabs.io)

Where to “put” the code:

  • Implement API calls in your app project (or server) using the SDK install steps or plain HTTP/WebSocket—code blocks in the docs are templates to copy into your environment. (elevenlabs.io)
