Owners · TechEd 1.0 API Keys from A to Z Owners & leads

A plain-English tour of the Grok and Cursor developer portal: keys, cost, logs, models and safe first uses

Owners · Tech · Independent auto-shop owners and leads who use, or will use, the Grok and Cursor developer portal and want a plain-English path from “what is an API?” to a safe first test.

Time
About 217 minutes (planning range 184–283); optional sims ~36 min. Self-paced.
Format
12 lessons, practice, capstone self-review and final assessment
Before you start
No coding background is required. You will get more from the later lessons if you can open grok.com/dashboard when you are ready, but you can complete the course with the written tour and official public docs alone. All keys and shops in the exercises are fictional.
You will be able to
  • Explain what an API is, in plain words: a request goes to an endpoint and a response comes back.
  • Treat API keys as secrets that also meter usage; choose the right key type, store it safely, and rotate or revoke it when it should no longer be used.
  • Find your way around the developer portal — API keys, Logs, Usage, Billing, and the customizations and team doors — and check the portal when a label is unclear.
  • Read tokens, example prices, logs and error codes well enough to catch waste, a leaked or stale key, and a rate-limit slowdown.
