Authentication

Generate an API key from your Dashboard and pass it in every request header:

X-API-Key: your_api_key_here

Keys are tied to your account. Keep them secret. You can revoke them anytime from your dashboard.

with open("photo.jpg", "rb") as f:

        headers={"X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY"},
