Every /v1 request needs an API key in the Authorization header:

Create and manage keys

Sign in at orvado.dev and open Tokens. There you can:
  • create a key for each app or environment, for example production and staging
  • set a spending limit per key, so one app cannot use the whole balance
  • disable or delete a key you no longer trust
All keys draw from the same prepaid account balance.

Keep keys safe

  • Call Orvado from your server. Never ship a key in a mobile app, browser code or a public repository.
  • Read the key from an environment variable or your secret manager.
  • If a key leaks, delete it in Tokens and create a new one. The old key stops working at once.

The message text differs for a missing key and an invalid one. Check the status code, not the text.
