Do not share your API key.
Treat your Fish Audio secret key like a password. Do not post it publicly, do not send it in screenshots, and do not share it with anyone else.

Fish Audio Setup Guide
This guide helps ApexCast users create and connect a Fish Audio API key, so commentary can be linked cleanly and reliably inside the app.
What this guide covers
This walkthrough takes you from opening Fish Audio all the way to pasting the finished secret key into ApexCast. It is written to stay easy to update later if the dashboard changes.
What you need
Have ApexCast open, use the right Fish account, and be ready to add a small amount of balance before you create the key.
Usually just a few minutes
Most users should be able to complete this flow in around 3 to 5 minutes if the Fish dashboard is behaving normally.
You leave with a working key in ApexCast
The goal is simple: create the secret key, copy it safely, and paste it into ApexCast without getting lost in the provider UI.
-
01
Open Fish Audio in a new tab or window.
Start by opening the Fish Audio website so you can work through the setup without losing your place in ApexCast.
-
02
Create a Fish Audio account if you do not already have one.
If you already have a Fish account, sign in and continue. If not, create one first.
-
03
Switch from Creative mode to Developer mode.
After signing in, use the top-left area of the Fish Audio dashboard to switch from Creative mode into Developer mode.
-
04
Add balance or funds to the account.
Before generating live API usage, fund the Fish Audio account so the key can actually be used by ApexCast.
-
05
You can start small.
For example, adding an amount like $5 is enough to get started and confirm the setup is working.
-
06
Confirm the balance appears in the dashboard.
Make sure the funds are visible before you move on. This confirms the account is ready for API usage.
-
07
Go to the API Keys section.
Stay in Developer mode and navigate to the part of the Fish Audio dashboard where API keys are managed.
-
08
Click Create Secret Key.
Use the secret-key creation flow rather than any temporary or expired credential option.
-
09
Enter a name for the key.
Choose something clear, like ApexCast, so the key is easy to recognize later.
-
10
Set the key to never expire.
Select the non-expiring option or checkbox so you do not accidentally break commentary later with an expired key.
-
11
Finish creating the key.
Complete the key-creation flow and wait for Fish Audio to reveal the new secret key.
-
12
Copy the new secret key.
Copy it immediately and keep it private. You may not get the same chance to view the full key again later.
-
13
Return to ApexCast.
Go back to the ApexCast app and open the Fish Audio API connection flow if it is not already visible.
-
14
Paste the key into the Fish Audio API field in ApexCast.
Save the connection in ApexCast, then continue with the app flow using the newly connected Fish Audio account.
If the Fish Audio UI changes
If Fish Audio changes its dashboard and these steps no longer match exactly, return to ApexCast Help & Support for the latest guide. If you still need help after that, use ApexCast support through the Help & Support flow so the instructions can be updated cleanly.
Open Fish Audio safely
If you need to jump straight into the dashboard again, use the button below. It opens Fish Audio in a new tab.
