All SDK and v1 API requests require an API key.
Python SDK
Pass key directly
from stewai import Client
client = Client(api_key="your-api-key")
Or use environment variable
export STEWAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
from stewai import Client
client = Client() # reads STEWAI_API_KEY
api_key= takes precedence over STEWAI_API_KEY when both are provided.
If neither is provided, Client(...) raises ValueError.
REST API v1
Send the key as Bearer auth:
curl -X POST https://api.stewai.com/v1/runs/ \
-H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"recipe_id": "01JEXAMPLE00000000000000000"}'
Security
Never commit API keys to source control. Rotate compromised keys immediately.
