Authentication

AI AdPilot uses API keys to authenticate all requests. Create and manage keys from your dashboard.

Creating an API Key

Navigate to your dashboard and open the API Keys page.

Create Key

Click "Create New Key", give it a descriptive name, and save.

Copy & Secure

Copy the key immediately. It will only be shown once.

Include your key in every request using the Authorization header:

Terminal

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

Environment Variables

Never hardcode API keys in source code. Use .env files or secret managers.

Rotate Keys Regularly

Create new keys and delete old ones periodically for security.

Separate Environments

Use different keys for development, staging, and production.

Monitor Usage

Check your dashboard regularly for unusual activity or unexpected charges.

Security Warning

Never expose API keys in client-side code, public repositories, or shared documents. Compromised keys can be deleted immediately from the dashboard.
