API Authentication
Secure API access for ingestion, verification, and automation workflows.
AITracer uses scoped API credentials for service-to-service communication, ingestion pipelines, and automation workflows.
These credentials are designed for backend systems—not client-side applications.
Authentication methods
AITracer supports:
- API keys
- service accounts
- scoped tokens
- enterprise SSO integrations
API key authentication
Pass your API key through the Authorization header.
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYExample:
curl https://api.aitracer.app/v1/traces \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"Recommended scopes
Create keys with limited permissions based on workload type.
Examples:
- trace ingestion
- verification access
- webhook management
- admin configuration
Security recommendations
- rotate credentials regularly
- avoid hardcoded secrets
- use secret managers
- restrict production permissions
