# PRO Blocks & API Key Setup
## Summary
PRO blocks require a Creative Tim API key. Get yours at https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/dashboard → **API Keys** section.
API key format: `pk_live_` prefix (e.g. `pk_live_a09e7677...`)
## Authentication Methods
### Method 1 — Environment Variable (recommended for development)
```bash
# macOS/Linux
export CREATIVE_TIM_UI_API_KEY=pk_live_your_key
# Inline (one-off)
CREATIVE_TIM_UI_API_KEY=pk_live_your_key npx @creative-tim/ui@latest add <block>
# .env.local (Next.js / Vite) — never commit this file
CREATIVE_TIM_UI_API_KEY=pk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```
Then install normally — the CLI picks up the env var automatically:
```bash
npx @creative-tim/ui@latest add <pro-block-name>
```
Or pass it explicitly:
```bash
npx @creative-tim/ui@latest add <pro-block-name> --api-key $CREATIVE_TIM_UI_API_KEY
```
### Method 2 — components.json (recommended for teams / CI/CD)
Add a `registries` entry to `components.json`:
```json
{
"registries": {
"@creative-tim": {
"url": "https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/r/{name}.json",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${CREATIVE_TIM_UI_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
```
Team members each set `CREATIVE_TIM_UI_API_KEY` in their own shell / CI secrets.
### Method 3 — shadcn CLI
The same `components.json` config above works with the shadcn CLI:
```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://www.creative-tim.com/ui/r/<pro-block>.json
```
## Detecting PRO Blocks
PRO blocks are marked on the website. In registry JSON they include `"pro": true`.
