# Stripe Projects — browser API access

> LLM context for the kernel/browser:api-access Stripe Projects service

This page describes the **`kernel/browser:api-access`** deployable service provisioned through Stripe Projects.

## What this resource is

A **project-scoped Kernel API key** used to create and manage cloud browsers (CDP, Playwright, Computer Controls, etc.) for that Stripe Project’s Kernel project.

## Provisioning

```bash theme={null}
stripe projects add kernel/browser:api-access --config '{"name":"production"}'
stripe projects env --pull
```

### Configuration

| Field  | Type   | Required | Description                                          |
| ------ | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `name` | string | yes      | Label for the API key (e.g. `production`, `staging`) |

## After provisioning

1. Run `stripe projects env --pull` to sync credentials into `.env` / `.projects/vault`.
2. Use the Kernel API key from the environment (typically `KERNEL_API_KEY`) with the SDK or CLI.

```typescript theme={null}
import Kernel from '@onkernel/sdk';

const kernel = new Kernel(); // uses KERNEL_API_KEY from env

const browser = await kernel.browsers.create();
```

```bash theme={null}
kernel browsers create
```

## Pricing

| Situation                                                   | Price                                                               |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| No active Kernel plan on the org                            | Usage-based: **$0.01/min** (standard), **$0.02/min** (stealth)      |
| Active `plan:developer`, `plan:hobbyist`, or `plan:startup` | **Included** with plan (component pricing `free` under parent plan) |

Provision a plan first when the developer needs predictable monthly credits and concurrency limits.

## Operations

```bash theme={null}
# Rotate credentials (invalidates old key)
stripe projects rotate kernel/browser:api-access

# Remove the resource
stripe projects remove kernel/browser:api-access
```
