Getting Your API Key

1. Go to Settings > API Keys in Studio
2. Click Create API Key
3. Name your key (e.g., "Production", "Development")
4. Copy the key immediately - it's only shown once

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header:

curl -X POST https://api.elyxir.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer elyxir_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "gpt-4o-mini", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'

API Key Format

Elyxir API keys follow this format: elyxir_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• Prefix: elyxir_ (7 characters)
• Total length: 47 characters
• Contains alphanumeric characters

API Key Security Best Practices

• Never expose keys in client-side code - Keys should only be used server-side
• Don't commit keys to version control - Use environment variables instead
• Rotate keys periodically - Create new keys and delete old ones
• Use separate keys per environment - Development, staging, and production should have different keys
• Set appropriate rate limits - Protect against runaway costs
