Introduction

You can interact with the API through HTTP requests from any language. We'll be making available client libraries for popular languages soon.

Authentication

The Assistive API uses API keys for authentication. If you haven't already, create one here.

Important: Your API key is a secret! Do not share it with others or expose it in any client-side code such as browsers or 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 ASSISTIVE_API_KEY

Requesting access to APIs

Some APIs may require you to request access. You can do this from the API Platform dashboard. If you require access to a custom API not listed on the dashboard, contact [email protected] stating the API you require, your expected usage, and your use case.
