Production API endpoint URL: https://api.paywalls.ai/v1

Authentication

All API requests to GetProfile require authentication using your paywall’s API key.

How it works

Each paywall in your account has a unique secret API key. This key identifies your paywall and ensures that only you can access and modify your data.
  • Keep your API key secure
  • Rotate keys in your dashboard if needed

Adding the API key to requests

You must include your API key in the Authorization header of every request to the paywalls.ai API:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
For example:
curl -X GET "https://api.paywalls.ai/v1/models" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Where to find your API key

  1. Log in to your Dashboard.
  2. Go to Paywalls section
  3. Copy the secret APY key for the paywall you want to integrate
If your API key is compromised, rotate it from the dashboard to protect your data.

Tips for API key usage

  • Never commit your API key to public repositories.
  • Use environment variables (process.env.YOUR_API_KEY) in your backend for secure usage.
  • Periodically review and rotate keys to maintain security.
