{% stepper %}
{% step %} <sub>**Create a Serper account**</sub>

<sub>Open</sub> [<sub>serper.dev</sub>](https://serper.dev)<sub>, sign up, and confirm your email if Serper asks.</sub> \ <sub>You need a logged in session before the dashboard shows keys.</sub> \ <sub>Serper gives 2500 free credits, enough to start in ARIA.</sub>
{% endstep %}

{% step %} <sub>**Open API keys**</sub>

<sub>Go to</sub> [<sub>Dashboard</sub>](https://serper.dev/dashboard) <sub>and find the API keys section (Serper may label it “API Key” or “Keys”).</sub>\ <img src="/files/igcbRkWRQT6we4p5KQSx" alt="" data-size="original">
{% endstep %}

{% step %} <sub>**Create or copy an active key**</sub>

<sub>Create a new key if you do not have one. Copy the full string once. Serper keys are secrets: do not commit them to git, chat, or slides.</sub>
{% endstep %}

{% step %} <sub>**Check credits and plan**</sub>

<sub>Serper bills by search credits. Open billing or usage in the dashboard so a busy demo week does not stop mid call.</sub>
{% endstep %}

{% step %} <sub>**Paste in ARIA Settings**</sub>

<sub>In ARIA, open</sub> <sub></sub><sub>**Settings**</sub><sub>, find</sub> <sub></sub><sub>**Serper API Key**</sub><sub>, paste the value,</sub> <sub></sub><sub>**Save**</sub><sub>, then run</sub> <sub></sub><sub>**Test**</sub><sub>. If Test fails, compare your clipboard to the dashboard (no spaces, full key).</sub>
