Every request to the Andi Search API must include an API key in the x-api-key header.

​
Getting an API key

  1. Sign in to the API Console
  2. Go to API Keys
  3. Click Create Key
  4. Copy the key — it’s only shown once

​
Managing keys

The API Console lets you:
  • Create multiple keys for different applications or environments
  • Rename keys to identify their purpose
  • Enable/disable keys without deleting them
  • Revoke keys that are no longer needed
Each key tracks its own usage. You can monitor request counts and credit consumption per key in the console.

​
Security practices

Treat API keys like passwords. Never commit them to version control or expose them in client-side code.
  • Store keys in environment variables or a secrets manager
  • Use separate keys for development and production
  • Rotate keys periodically
  • Revoke keys immediately if compromised
  • Restrict key access to team members who need it
# Store your key in an environment variable
export ANDI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Reference it in requests
curl "https://search-api.andisearch.com/api/v1/search?q=test" \
  -H "x-api-key: $ANDI_API_KEY"
