Langbase

User/Org API Keys

API keys are required to authenticate with the REST API of Langbase. You will need to send the API key in the Authorization header of your requests.

Warning
Treat your API keys like passwords. Keep them secret — use only on the server side.

Do not share your API key with anyone. Do not include it in any client-side code, that ends up in the browsers. For production requests, it is imperative to route them through your own backend server, where you can securely retrieve your API key from an environment variable or a secret key management service.
