If I want my team to use my self-hosted Cloud Pricing API, do they just need the self-hosted API key secret and the endpoint URL and don't have to create an Infracost account?

<@U04L3LQGJ7M> yep, they don’t need to create infracost accounts. The latest VSCode extension installs the CLI so I think all you need to tell your team members is to set the endpoint and your generated API key using the `infracost configure` commands you pasted above - if that doesn’t work as the binary is not in the path, they can set the <https://www.infracost.io/docs/cloud_pricing_api/self_hosted/#usage-with-infracost-cli|env vars>.

One way to confirm that your own vscode extension is using your self-hosted API key is to goto Infracost Cloud &gt; Org Settings &gt; Regenerate API key so your laptop doesn’t have the new key. But if you do that, you should also update the INFRACOST_API_KEY env var for your self-hosted Cloud Pricing API so it can continue to download the pricing dumps in its k8s/docker cron job.
