SDK Authentication

If you're using our SDKs, simply pass your API key to the constructor:

client = Mixedbread(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

Best Practices

  • Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories
  • Use environment variables to store your API key
  • Rotate your API key regularly
  • If you suspect your key is compromised, reset it immediately in the dashboard
