API keys

API keys authenticate server-to-server requests. Treat them like passwords, never expose them in client-side code, mobile apps, or browser-accessible bundles.

Create a key

API access has to be enabled for your organization before you can create a key. Ask your Relu admin (or email support@relu.ai) to enable it.

Once enabled:

1. Log in to automate.relu.ai/account.
2. Go to Settings → Develop.
3. Click New API Key and give it a name. Choose All scopes, or choose Limited scopes and expand a group to select individual permissions. Create the key and copy it. Relu shows it only once, so store it somewhere safe. To rotate it, create a new key, update your services, then delete the old one.

Use it

Two header formats are supported. The X-API-Key form is the recommended default.

import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.automate.relu.ai/services",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "<your_api_token>"},
)

await fetch('https://api.automate.relu.ai/services', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': process.env.RELU_API_TOKEN },
});

The Authorization: ApiKey <token> form is also accepted for compatibility with tooling that expects the standard Authorization header.
