Create a Parallel AI account
Sign up for a Parallel AI account to get access to the platform and generate API keys.
Go to the Parallel Platform
Visit platform.parallel.ai in your browser.
Generate an API Key
Create an API key from the Parallel Platform settings to authenticate API requests.
Navigate to API Keys
Once signed in, go to Settings in the left sidebar and select the API Keys tab.
Create a new API key
API keys are organized by Apps. Click + CREATE NEW API KEY under an existing app, or click + CREATE A NEW APP to create a new app first.
- Give the key a descriptive name (e.g.,
StackOne Integration) - Click the eye icon next to the masked key to reveal the full value
- Copy the API key immediately — it will remain accessible but masked by default
- Store the key securely
Usage and Credits
Parallel AI uses a credit-based billing model. Some API actions consume credits per request.
- Search, Extract, Chat, Task Runs, FindAll, and Entity Search consume credits
- Monitors (list, create, retrieve, update, trigger, cancel, events) and Task Groups (create, retrieve) do not consume credits
- Ensure your account has sufficient credits before using credit-consuming actions
- For support, contact support@parallel.ai
