SDK keys and environments

To create an SDK key, navigate to the SDK Keys section of the Configuration section and click New SDK Key.

SDK keys are used to determine with variant a given Entity will be assigned to.

They also determine the environment in which the SDK is being used: a flag can have a different status and different targeting rules for each environment. By default Eppo has two environments: Test and Production, but you can add more on the Environments page.

note

SDK Keys are meant to be used in the SDK to decide Entity assignment. They are distinct from API Keys that are used to query Eppo’s API, to read and edit information about metrics, definitions, and more.
