Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header of every API request:

curl https://openresty-gateway.api.seaart.ai/llm/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-4",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

Important: Keep your API Key secure. Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories. Use environment variables to store your API Key.

API Key Security

Best Practices

  • Use Environment Variables: Store your API Key in environment variables, never hardcode it in source code

  • Server-Side Only: Always make API calls from your backend, never directly from browsers or mobile apps

  • Regular Rotation: Regularly rotate your API Keys, especially if you suspect they may have been compromised

  • Least Privilege: Create separate API Keys for different applications for easier management and revocation

If you believe your API Key has been compromised, immediately revoke it in your Settings and create a new one.
