Authentication

Learn how to authenticate your applications with Avatario API

API Keys

Avatario uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in the dashboard.

Obtaining an API Key

  1. Log in to your Avatario account
  2. Navigate to the API Keys section in the sidebar
  3. Click Create API Key button in the top-right
  4. Enter a name for your API key in the dialog and click "Create"
  5. Click the eye icon to view your key, then use the copy button to copy it

API Key Security

Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure!

  • Do not share your API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, or social media
  • Use environment variables or secret management services to handle API keys in your applications
  • Rotate your API keys periodically for enhanced security
Important: Your API keys give full access to your account resources. Never expose them in client-side code.

Using API Keys

For LiveKit Integration

When using Avatario with LiveKit, you need to set the environment variable where your LiveKit worker code is running:

# In your environment or .env file where LiveKit worker code is running
AVATARIO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
