API Keys

All API requests require authentication via a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Creating API Keys

1. Log in to the Iteration Layer platform
2. Navigate to API Keys
3. Click Generate New Key
4. Copy the key — it will only be shown once

API keys are global and work across all APIs. You can set a per-key budget cap to limit credit consumption.

Key Security

• Never expose API keys in client-side code
• Use environment variables to store keys
• Rotate keys regularly
• Set budget caps to prevent runaway usage
