Authentication

Generating API Keys

The Vellum API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in the Vellum here.

Authentication

Authentication is performed using headers. You should include your API key as the value associated with the X_API_KEY header in your requests.

Note that all API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

API Key Best Practices

The API keys you generate should be treated like passwords. Do not share your API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, etc.
