Authentication

The DAN API uses API keys for authentication. Visit your API Keys page to retrieve the API key you'll use in your requests.

caution

Remember that your API key is a secret! Do not share it with others or expose it in any client-side code (browsers, apps). Production requests must be routed through your own backend server where your API key can be securely loaded from an environment variable or key management service.

All API requests should include your API key in an Authorization HTTP header as follows:

Authorization: Bearer DAN_API_KEY

Note: if you do not want to register, you can use sk-000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 as api_key to connect anonymously. However anonymous accounts have the lowest priority!

Example curl command:

curl -L -X POST 'https://api.opendan.ai/api/sd/txt2img' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer sk-000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' \
