1. Subscribe

VidJutsu requires a $99/month subscription that includes 1,000 credits. You can subscribe via the CLI or API. Install the CLI and subscribe in one flow: 
curl -fsSL https://vidjutsu.ai/install.sh | bash
vidjutsu subscribe --email you@example.com
This opens a Stripe checkout in your browser. After you pay, the CLI automatically saves your credentials: 
Checkout: https://checkout.stripe.com/...

Complete payment in your browser.

Credentials saved to ~/.vidjutsu/config.json
That’s it. Your API key is saved and ready to use.

​
2. Verify

Confirm your credentials are working: 
vidjutsu balance

{
  "credits": 1000,
  "clientId": "mc_..."
}

​
3. Store your key safely

Your API key lives in ~/.vidjutsu/config.json. For scripts and CI, use an environment variable: 
export VIDJUTSU_API_KEY=vj_live_...
Never commit your key to git. Add it to .env files that are in .gitignore. To export a credentials file (like AWS): 
vidjutsu auth --export
# Writes ~/.vidjutsu/credentials.json

​
Lost your key?

Recover via email verification: 
vidjutsu auth --recover you@example.com
# Check your email for a 6-digit code

vidjutsu auth --verify --email you@example.com --code 847291
# Credentials saved to ~/.vidjutsu/config.json
Or rotate your key if it was compromised: 
curl -X POST https://api.vidjutsu.ai/v1/api_keys/rotate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vj_live_..."
