Authentication

The Anchor API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in the Anchor Dashboard.

API Keys

All API requests require authentication via the X-API-Key header:

curl https://api.getanchor.dev/v1/agents \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key-here"

⚠️ Security Warning: Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Getting Your API Key

HTTPS Required

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.

Example Request

# Using curl
curl https://api.getanchor.dev/v1/agents \
  -H "X-API-Key: anc_1234567890abcdef" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

# Using Python
import requests

headers = {
    "X-API-Key": "anc_1234567890abcdef",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.getanchor.dev/v1/agents",
    headers=headers
)

# Using TypeScript/JavaScript
const response = await fetch('https://api.getanchor.dev/v1/agents', {
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': 'anc_1234567890abcdef',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});
