This API key is used to fetch a JWT token that you can use to authenticate to watsonx Orchestrate on the AWS server. Other offerings, such as the IBM Cloud offering and the on-premises offering, use different authentication methods from the API key.

You get the API key in your watsonx Orchestrate settings page. Follow the procedure to generate an API key:
