Easily sign up for Eyeroll and obtain your first API key.

Sign up for eyeroll and get your first free API key.

Usage

/eyeroll:signup

Steps

  1. Ask the user for their email address if it wasn't provided as an argument.

  2. Set EYEROLL_API_URL to https://api.eyeroll.dev if not already set in the environment.

  3. Call the signup endpoint:

curl -s -X POST "$EYEROLL_API_URL/signup" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"email\": \"<EMAIL>\"}"

  1. On success, display the result clearly:

    • API key: the api_key value (this is the bearer token)
    • Key ID: key_id (used to manage this key later)
    • Key name: key_name

  2. Tell the user to save the key and set these environment variables:

export EYEROLL_API_KEY=<api_key>
export EYEROLL_API_URL=https://api.eyeroll.dev

Suggest adding them to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or their project .env.

  1. Confirm: once EYEROLL_API_KEY is set, eyeroll watch <url> will automatically use the hosted API — no Gemini or OpenAI key needed.

  2. Note: calling /eyeroll:signup again with the same email is safe — it returns the existing account's key without creating duplicates.
