Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header of every request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

cURL
JavaScript
Python

curl -X POST https://api.apixo.ai/api/v1/generateTask/nano-banana \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"request_type": "async", "input": {"prompt": "A sunset"}}'

const response = await fetch('https://api.apixo.ai/api/v1/generateTask/nano-banana', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    request_type: 'async',
    input: { prompt: 'A sunset' }
  }),
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.data.taskId);

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.apixo.ai/api/v1/generateTask/nano-banana',
    headers={
        'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    json={
        'request_type': 'async',
        'input': {'prompt': 'A sunset'}
    }
)

data = response.json()
print(data['data']['taskId'])

Security Best Practices

Never expose keys in client-side code

API keys should only be used in server-side applications

Use environment variables

Store keys in .env files, never commit them to git

Rotate keys regularly

Create new keys and revoke old ones periodically

Set up IP allowlists

Restrict key usage to specific IP addresses in the dashboard

Error Responses

If authentication fails, you’ll receive:

{
  "code": 401,
  "message": "Invalid or missing API key"
}

Common causes:

Missing Authorization header
Invalid or revoked API key
Key doesn’t have permission for the requested model
