Overview

API keys are your credentials for accessing the Compile Labs API. Keep them secure and manage them through your dashboard.

​
Creating an API Key

  1. Log in at console.compilelabs.com
  2. Go to Settings → API Keys
  3. Click Create API Key
  4. Give it a name (e.g., “Production App”)
  5. Copy the key immediately
API keys are only shown once. Store them securely and never commit them to version control.

​
Using an API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header: 
curl https://api.compilelabs.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{...}'

​
Key Management

Manage your API keys through the dashboard at console.compilelabs.com:
  1. Go to Settings → API Keys
  2. View all your API keys with their names and creation dates
  3. Disable or delete keys as needed

​
Rotate Keys

  1. Create a new API key
  2. Update your applications to use the new key
  3. Delete the old key

​
Security Best Practices

  • Never share API keys publicly
  • Rotate keys regularly
