API Keys

All requests to Orthogonal require an API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer orth_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx

Type	Prefix	Use Case
Live	`orth_live_`	Production usage, charged to your account
Test	`orth_test_`	Testing, no charges (limited APIs)

We recommend storing your key in an environment variable:

export ORTHOGONAL_API_KEY=orth_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx

Then reference it in your code:

const apiKey = process.env.ORTHOGONAL_API_KEY;

import os
api_key = os.environ['ORTHOGONAL_API_KEY']

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORTHOGONAL_API_KEY" ...
