Connect with an API token

1. In Nuclei:

   1. Sign in to the ProjectDiscovery Cloud dashboard (https://cloud.projectdiscovery.io/).
   2. In the left navbar, go to Settings › API Key (https://cloud.projectdiscovery.io/settings/api-key).
   3. View and copy your API key.

   Where to find the other values:

   • Base URL (optional): Leave empty for ProjectDiscovery Cloud; the API is the ProjectDiscovery API v1 over HTTPS.
   • Account / Org / Workspace (optional): Your ProjectDiscovery Cloud team, if you belong to more than one (the location of the team ID in the UI was not found in the fetched docs).

   Nuclei itself is an open-source CLI; scan results are only available through an API when they are uploaded to ProjectDiscovery Cloud. The API key is a per-user key sent in the X-Api-Key header and has that user's access; ProjectDiscovery documents no read-only key scope.

   Source: docs.projectdiscovery.io, checked 2026-10-07.

   Field	What to enter

   Base URL (optional)	—
