API Key Setup
Published
An API key is optional but strongly recommended. Without one, all search features still work via anonymous access, but with lower rate limits and quota.

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set: ANYSEARCH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Linux / macOS
export ANYSEARCH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
# Windows CMD
set ANYSEARCH_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
# Windows PowerShell
$env:ANYSEARCH_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
Tip: Create a free API key at anysearch.com/console/api-keys. Priority order: CLI flag > .env file > environment variable > anonymous access.
