## 16.1 Environment Variables

```bash theme={null}
# LLM Configuration
export LEMONADE_BASE_URL="http://localhost:13305/api/v1"
# Required only when connecting to an authenticated remote Lemonade.
# See https://lemonade-server.ai/docs/guide/configuration/#api-key-and-security
export LEMONADE_API_KEY=""

# API server (gaia api). These are read as the literal string "1" —
# any other value (including "true") leaves the feature OFF.
export GAIA_API_DEBUG="1"      # debug logging + console output
export GAIA_API_STREAMING="1"  # stream LLM responses over the API

# API Keys (for cloud providers)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
```

<Note>
  GAIA has no `GAIA_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable. Log levels are set
  programmatically through `gaia.logger` (`set_level(name, level)`); the default
  is `INFO`.
</Note>

## 16.2 Configuration in Code

```python theme={null}
import os

# Read configuration
base_url = os.getenv("LEMONADE_BASE_URL", "http://localhost:13305/api/v1")
debug = os.getenv("GAIA_API_DEBUG") == "1"  # matches how gaia api reads it

# Use in agent
agent = MyAgent(
    base_url=base_url,
    debug_prompts=debug
)
```
