Replace <YOUR_API_KEY> with the API key from your token settings.

Authentication

All requests must include Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> header. Anthropic-formatted endpoints accept the x-api-key header instead.

Generate tokens from the Tokens page; you can scope them to specific models, groups, IPs, and rate-limits.
