Authentication

All API requests require an API key passed in the Authorization header.

Getting Your API Key

1. Log in to memory-dashboard.audaxic.com
2. In the dashboard, go to Projects
3. Click Create Project and give your project a name
4. Click View
5. Click Create API Key and give your key a name
6. Copy the key — you'll only see it once

Using Your API Key

REST API

Include the key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token:

curl -X POST https://api.memory.audaxic.com/add \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_your_api_key_here" \
  -d '{"messages": ["Hello"]}'

API Key Format

• Prefix: ak_
• Length: 35 characters total
• Example: ak_abc123def456ghi789jkl012mno345

Key Management

• Create multiple projects — Use different projects for different environments; each project is isolated
• Create multiple keys — Use different keys for different agents or tools; API keys in the same project access the same memories
• Delete unused keys — Remove keys you no longer need from the dashboard
• One key per project — Each key is tied to a specific project in your account

Security Best Practices

• Never expose API keys in client-side code (browser, mobile apps)
• Use environment variables or secrets managers
• Don't commit keys to version control
• Rotate keys if you suspect they've been compromised
