Core concepts for understanding the APIXO API

Concepts

Before diving into the API reference, understand these core concepts that power APIXO.

Quick Overview

1. Authentication

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Get your API key from Dashboard → API Keys.

2. Async Workflow

APIXO uses an asynchronous pattern for all generation tasks:

1. Submit a task → receive a taskId
2. Poll for status or receive a webhook callback
3. Retrieve results when state: "success"

3. Routing Strategies

Choose how requests are routed to providers:
