Authentication

The Electron Hub API uses API keys for authentication. You’ll need to include your API key in the Authorization header of every request.

​

Getting Your API Key

1. Visit the Electron Hub Console
2. Sign up or log in to your account
3. Navigate to the API Keys section
4. Generate a new API key
5. Copy and securely store your API key

​

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix:

curl -X POST "https://api.electronhub.ai/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
  }'

​

Environment Variables

For security, store your API key as an environment variable:

export ELECTRONHUB_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Then use it in your code:

import os
api_key = os.getenv("ELECTRONHUB_API_KEY")

​

API Key Management

• Regenerate Keys: You can regenerate your API key at any time in the console
• Multiple Keys: Create separate keys for different environments (development, production)
• Monitor Usage: Track your API usage in the console dashboard

​

Rate Limiting

API keys are subject to rate limits based on your plan. See our rate limits guide for more information.
