How to get credentials
You need a Metabase API key and your Metabase site URL.
- Sign in to Metabase as an admin.
- Open Settings (gear icon) -> Admin settings -> Settings -> API keys.
- Click Create API key, give it a name (e.g. FlyMyAI Agent) and assign it to a group whose permissions match what the agent should do.
- Copy the generated key - it is shown only once.
- Note your Metabase base URL (e.g.
https://metabase.example.com) - the agent appends/apiautomatically.
See the official guide: Metabase API keys.
