Authentication

pipeAgent uses API keys to authenticate requests and monitor usage for metered billing.

Obtaining an API Key

1. Sign in to your pipeAgent Dashboard.

2. Navigate to the API Keys section.

3. Generate a new key with read permissions for consuming data.

Using the API Key

You must include your API key in every request via the x-api-key header or as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Header Examples

Using x-api-key:

curl -H "x-api-key: your_api_key_here" https://api.pipeagent.dev/v1/feed/your_feed_id

Using Bearer Token:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_key_here" https://api.pipeagent.dev/v1/feed/your_feed_id

[!WARNING]

Keep your API keys secure. Do not share them or commit them to public repositories. If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately from the dashboard.
