Authentication

All FindIP API requests require authentication via a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

API Key Format

API keys follow the format psk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. You can generate and manage keys from the Dashboard.

Important: Keep your API key secure. Do not expose it in client-side code, public repositories, or browser requests. Use environment variables or server-side proxies.

Sending Authenticated Requests

Include your API key in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix:

cURL
curl -X POST https://api.findip.ai/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer psk_live_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "semiconductor etching process", "top_k": 5}'
Python
import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.findip.ai/search",
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer psk_live_your_api_key",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={
        "query": "semiconductor etching process",
        "top_k": 5,
    },
)
data = response.json()
JavaScript (Node.js)
const response = await fetch("https://api.findip.ai/search", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer psk_live_your_api_key",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: "semiconductor etching process",
    top_k: 5,
  }),
});
const data = await response.json();
