Authentication

Secure your API requests with API keys.

API Keys

All API requests require authentication via an API key. You can include your key in one of two ways:

Option 1: Authorization Header (Recommended)

Authorization: Bearer sk-your-api-key-here

Option 2: X-API-Key Header

X-API-Key: sk-your-api-key-here

Managing API Keys

You can create, rename, and revoke API keys from your dashboard:

• Create keys - Generate new API keys with optional names
• Rename keys - Update key names for organization
• Revoke keys - Delete keys that are no longer needed

Important: The full API key is only shown once when created. Store it securely - you won't be able to see it again.

Security Best Practices

• Never expose API keys in client-side code or public repositories
• Use environment variables to store keys
• Rotate keys periodically
• Create separate keys for different applications
