API Authentication

All Bleu.js API requests require authentication using an API key. This ensures secure access to your account and resources.

Getting Your API Key

Sign in to your Bleu.js Dashboard
Navigate to the API Keys section
Click "Create New API Key"
Copy your API key and keep it secure

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header of all requests:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Example Request

curl -X POST https://api.bleujs.org/v1/generate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Hello, world!",
    "max_tokens": 100
  }'

Security Best Practices

Never share your API key publicly
Use environment variables to store API keys
Rotate your API keys regularly
Monitor your API usage in the dashboard
Use different API keys for different applications
