Authentication

Authenticating requests with your API key

All API requests require an API key passed as the X-AWR-Api-Key header.

curl https://api.usehello.ai/receipts \
  -H "X-AWR-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

SDK authentication

from usehelloai import HelloAI
client = HelloAI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
# or set the HELLO_AI_API_KEY environment variable
client = HelloAI()

Keep your API key secret — treat it like a password. Never commit it to source control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager in production.
