How to Generate your NVIDIA API Key
This page describes how to create NVIDIA legacy keys. NVIDIA will continue to support this key type for services that have not transitioned to the next-generation (personal) API keys. However, it's recommended for customers to migrate to the NVIDIA next-generation API keys when possible. Visit this page for details on creating NVIDIA personal API keys.
Before getting started please make sure you are familiar with the following:
The University's ssh Protocols
The University's Research Storage
Getting Started
To begin, log into NVIDIA AI Enterprise Base Command using your university email (Web SSO)
Once you successfully log in, select the University At Albany (SUNY) as your organization, and then select your team. If you do not have a team, please reach out to ITS to add you to your lab's team. You may still access resources, but your lab's data and workspace will be unavailable until you are placed into their team.
Generating an API Key
In order to upload your data and even use the Nvidia command line, you will need to generate an API Key. This key allows you to log into your workspace as yourself, so it is important to not lose it or give it out to people.
Once you have selected a team and logged in, you will be on the Base Command homepage. On the left-hand side, select 'BASE COMMAND' and from the dropdown, select 'Dashboard' to bring yourself to the overview of the system.
Scroll to the bottom right and click 'Setup' in the section labeled Download CLI and Generate API Key.
On the next page, click 'Generate Legacy Key'. Save this key to a text file for easy access on your machine. If you lose your key, you can generate a new one on this page again.
