SnapGen authenticates API requests with a secret API key.

​
Create an API key

  1. Sign in to the SnapGen Console.
  2. Open API Keys.
  3. Create a new key and copy it when shown.
Use the key in the Authorization header.

​
Protect your key

  • Keep API keys on your server. Do not put them in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, or client-side environment variables.
  • Load keys from a secret manager or server-side environment variable.
  • Use a different key for each environment when possible.
  • If you expose a key, delete it in the Console and create a replacement immediately. Do not continue using the exposed key.
An API key can consume your prepaid balance. Treat it like a password.
