Authentication

All API endpoints require authentication using an API key passed in the X-API-Key header. You can create and manage your API keys from your user dashboard.

Getting Your API Key

• Sign up for a VEO3 account.
• Navigate to your dashboard.
• Generate an API key in the API Keys section.
• Use this key in all your API requests.

Include your API key in the X-API-Key header of every request.

HTTP Header

X-API-Key: veo3_your_api_key_here

Example Request (cURL)

curl -X POST "https://api.veo3.com/api/veo/text-to-video" \
  -H "X-API-Key: veo3_your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "A beautiful sunset over mountains"}'

Your API key grants access to your account and credits. Treat it like a password and keep it secure.

• Do not share your API key publicly: Never commit your key to version control (e.g., GitHub) or expose it in client-side code.
• Use environment variables: Store your API key in an environment variable on your server to keep it out of your codebase.
• Rotate your keys periodically: If you suspect a key has been compromised, disable it from your dashboard and generate a new one.
• Use different keys for different applications: This helps to isolate access and makes it easier to revoke a single key without affecting other integrations.

Example: Using Environment Variables (Node.js)

// In your .env file
VEO3_API_KEY=veo3_your_secret_key

// In your application code
const apiKey = process.env.VEO3_API_KEY;

fetch('https://api.veo3.com/api/veo/...', {
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': apiKey
  }
});
