DEEPTHROAT DEVELOPER GUIDE
Authentication & keys
Authenticate requests and keep each project’s access and credits in your control.
Request headers
Send your API key in the Authorization header for OpenAI-compatible requests. Anthropic Messages also accepts x-api-key.
curl "https://api.cheapai.gay/v1/models" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY\nx-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY\nanthropic-version: 2023-06-01The x-api-key and anthropic-version lines are for Anthropic-compatible clients. You only need one key authentication header.
Key management
Create, rename, enable, disable, or connect keys in API keys. A key’s credits, usage, routing tier, and hourly plan belong to that key. Choose the right active key before topping up or purchasing a plan.
Store a new key securely when its secret is shown. Disabling a key prevents it from making requests.
Keep credentials private
- Keep API keys on your server or in your coding tool’s private credential settings.
- Use environment variables for shared project configurations.
- Keep files containing secrets out of version control.
- Replace and disable an exposed key.
The website signs you in with an HTTP-only session cookie. That session is separate from the API key used by your application.
