API Authentication

Secure authentication is crucial for protecting your Fewzen AI resources and ensuring the integrity of your API requests. This guide explains the authentication methods supported by the Fewzen AI API and provides best practices for managing your credentials.

Authentication Methods

API Key Authentication

API Key authentication is the simplest method to authenticate with the Fewzen AI API. You'll need to include your API key in the header of each request.

How to Use

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

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Example Request

curl -X POST https://api.fewzen.ai/v1/chat \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Fewzen AI!"}
    ]
  }'

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key obtained from the Fewzen AI dashboard.
