Is NVCF_RUN_KEY the same as NGC_API_KEY?

[freemansoft]

This project uses NVCF_RUN_KEY
NIM-Anywhere uses NGC_API_KEY?

Hi. Yes. This is a bit confusing.

NVIDIA has a few different sorts of API keys, and they aren't interchangeable.

The NGC_API_KEY is required to pull containers from NGC. It is configured in AI Workbench as an integration. There are some example projects that need this configured because the underlying containers are gated, i.e. part of an early access program or something like that. You can see more on them here.

The NVCF_RUN_KEY is required to use the apis on build.nvidia.com. This is entered as a secret on a project by project basis. You can generate these keys directly on build.nvidia.com for the individual model/api pages. See here. You need to look for "Get API Key"

I see the issue now. The Agentic RAG project is calling the NVCF run key the api key.
