Authentication

Create keys in API Keys in the dashboard. Product APIs accept the key as a bearer credential.

Python SDK

import os
import orbitalsai
 
client = orbitalsai.Client(
    api_key=os.environ["ORBITALSAI_API_KEY"]
)

Use ORBITALSAI_API_KEY consistently across local development and deployed environments.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

curl "https://api.orbitalsai.com/api/v1/text/languages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORBITALSAI_API_KEY"

Pass the key through the realtime endpoint's token query parameter:

wss://api.orbitalsai.com/api/v1/streaming/transcribe?token=<API_KEY>

Build the URL immediately before connecting. Use wss:// and configure application and proxy logs not to retain query strings.

Store keys in server-side environment variables or a secret manager.
Never put a key in browser JavaScript, a mobile binary, a public repository, or logs.
Use a separate key for each application or environment.
Revoke a key immediately if it may have been exposed.

Dashboard login sessions are required for account, billing, support, and API-key management. API keys cannot manage other keys.
