1. Register and get a key
Enable Ark
Sign in to Volcengine console and enable Ark (first-time real-name verification required for mainland China users).
Subscribe to models
In the Model Plaza, click Enable + Try Now on each model you need. Most Doubao models have a free trial; some are token-metered.
Create an API Key
On the API Key page, create a key (shown once).
(Optional) Create an Endpoint
Some models are called via “online inference Endpoints” — create an endpoint in the Endpoint list to get an
ep-xxxxxxxxxxxx identifier. Mirobody calls via model id directly, so this step is not required for the standard flow.2. Endpoint info
