Authentication

All API requests require authentication using an API key.

Getting an API Key

1. Sign up at console.solidrust.ai
2. Navigate to API Keys in the dashboard
3. Click Create New Key
4. Copy and securely store your API key

Caution

Your API key is shown only once. Store it securely - you’ll need to generate a new one if lost.

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in request headers. Two formats are supported:

X-API-Key Header (Recommended)

X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

curl https://api.solidrust.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "X-API-Key: sk_live_abc123..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "vllm-primary", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hi"}]}'

Authorization Bearer (OpenAI SDK Compatible)

For compatibility with OpenAI SDKs:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

curl https://api.solidrust.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_abc123..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "vllm-primary", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hi"}]}'

API Key Security

Best Practices

• Never commit API keys to version control
• Use environment variables in your applications
• Rotate keys periodically
• Use separate keys for development and production

Environment Variables

Python:

import os
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.environ.get("SOLIDRUST_API_KEY"),
    base_url="https://api.solidrust.ai/v1"
)

Node.js:

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.SOLIDRUST_API_KEY,
  baseURL: 'https://api.solidrust.ai/v1',
});

Rate Limits

API keys have rate limits based on your subscription tier. See Rate Limits for details.
