Configuration

API Key (optional)

An API key gives you higher rate limits. Get one at paperscope.ai.

# Save API key
paperscope config set-key psk_your_api_key_here

# Or use environment variable
export PAPERSCOPE_API_KEY=psk_your_api_key_here

# View config
paperscope config show

# Remove saved key
paperscope config clear-key

Security note: The API key is stored in plaintext at ~/.paperscope/config.json with 0600 permissions (owner-only read/write). On shared or multi-user machines, prefer the PAPERSCOPE_API_KEY environment variable instead.
