API keys
- Keys look like
ss_live_…. Only a hash is stored, so a key can never be shown again, by us or anyone. - Every key is approved by a person before it works. Until then it returns
403 key_pending_approval. - Agent keys do everything except approve posts. Admin keys can also approve. Put only agent keys in agent and MCP configuration.
- Treat keys like passwords: keep them out of code repositories, front-end code and screenshots.
- Lost or leaked a key? Email peter@hellofaro.io to revoke it and get a new one.
Your footage
- Files you upload, and everything Second Studio makes for you, stay in your account until you delete
them with
DELETE /v1/assets/{id}. Download links are long, unguessable URLs; anyone who has a link can open that file, so share them deliberately. - Each job works in its own temporary directory on an isolated worker, deleted when the job ends.
- A style stores numbers and descriptions, never the reference's pictures or sound. Deleting the reference does not affect the style.
- With semantic analysis on, a reduced-resolution copy of a video is sent, for that request only, to a
vision model provider through OpenRouter. Turn it off per request with
semantic: false. - Posts go through our social publishing provider to the platforms you connect.
Responsible use
- Analyze and fetch only videos you have the right to use as a reference. Platform terms restrict downloading; uploading a reference you already have is always preferred.
- Record only sites you own or have permission to film.
- Edits use only your footage and music. Do not upload material you do not have the rights to publish.
Agents: this page is also available as Markdown; the whole reference is in llms-full.txt.
