​
Authentication

All API requests use Bearer token authentication with an API key.

​
Headers

Send your API key in the Authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here
Alternatively, some endpoints accept: 
Authorization: your_key_here
The key must be created in the dashboard under API Keys. Keys start with sk_ (e.g. sk_live_...).

​
Example

curl https://api.llmtune.io/v1/models/MODEL_ID/inference \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "Hello", "maxTokens": 50}'

Security best practices

PracticeDescription
Server-side onlyNever embed API keys in client apps or frontend code. Call the API from your backend and keep the key in env vars or a secret manager.
Rotate keysRotate keys periodically and when someone leaves the team. Create a new key in the dashboard and update your services, then revoke the old key.
Least privilegeUse separate keys per environment (e.g. dev vs production) so a compromise is limited in scope.
No source controlDo not commit keys to Git. Use .env (and add it to .gitignore) or a secrets backend.

​
Invalid or missing key

  • Missing header — Responses return 401 Unauthorized with a message that a valid API key is required.
  • Invalid key — Same 401; the key may be revoked, malformed, or from another account.
If you see 401, check that the key is correct, active in the dashboard, and sent as Authorization: Bearer sk_....
