Authentication

Get your API key

Create a key in Console → API Keys. One key works for inference, account, and media upload.

Environment	Key shape	Example
Live (production)	`sk-` + secret	`sk-a1b2c3d4e5f6…`
Test	`sk_test-` + secret	`sk_test-x9y8z7…`

Live keys use the OpenAI-style sk- prefix (no live_ in the string). Test keys keep a sk_test- prefix so you do not mix environments.

Send REST requests

Use the Key authorization scheme for the native apisale REST API:

Authorization: Key YOUR_API_KEY

export APISALE_API_KEY="sk-..."
curl -X POST "https://api.apisale.ai/v1/run/google/nano-banana/text-to-image" \
  -H "Authorization: Key $APISALE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": {"prompt": "a serene lake at dawn"}}'

Set APISALE_API_KEY in your server environment.

OpenAI / Gemini SDK clients

Official SDKs send Bearer instead of Key. Paste the same key value:

Authorization: Bearer sk-...

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.APISALE_API_KEY, // sk-...
  baseURL: "https://api.apisale.ai/v1",
});

One credential, two header prefixes: Key (native REST API) or Bearer (supported vendor SDKs).

Never commit keys to git or expose them in browser client-side code
Revoke compromised keys in Console immediately
