Using Your API Key

Include your key in the Authorization header with every request:

curl https://api.puq.ai/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Token YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "openai/gpt-4o",
    "messages": [
      {"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}
    ]
  }'

Use the Token prefix:

Authorization: Token <api_key>

API Key Lifecycle

• API keys do not expire as long as their status is active (status=1).
• Keys can be created, listed, and deleted via the dashboard.
