Authentication

Create Saber API keys, send Bearer-token requests, and follow key handling practices for secure production integrations.

All API requests require authentication using an API key. Include your API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_api_key_here

Getting your API key

  1. Log in to your Saber account at ai.saber.app
  2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  3. Click Create API Key and provide a name
  4. Copy the key immediately — it will only be shown once
  5. Store the key securely (environment variable, secret manager, or vault)

Security best practices

Do:

  • Store keys securely using environment variables or secret managers
  • Use different API keys for different environments (staging, production)
  • Monitor API usage logs regularly
  • Rotate keys periodically

Don't:

  • Hardcode API keys in your source code
  • Share API keys in public repositories or documentation
  • Use the same API key across multiple external systems
  • Commit API keys to version control
