API Key Authentication

Fintelite AI uses API key authentication for all requests. Include your API key in the X-API-Key header for every API call.

Getting Your API Key

1

Contact Sales

Email bd@fintelite.ai or contact us via WhatsApp to request a quote.
2

Review Contract

Review and sign the service contract with pricing and terms.
3

Receive API Key

Your API key will be provided along with the signed contract.
API keys are not self-service. All customers must go through a contract process before receiving API access credentials.

Making Authenticated Requests

Include the X-API-Key header in all requests:
curl https://api-vision.fintelite.ai/jobs?page=1&limit=10 \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Examples with POST and DELETE

curl -X POST https://api-vision.fintelite.ai/upload \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@document.pdf"

Security Best Practices

  • Never commit API keys to version control
  • Never include API keys in client-side code
  • Use environment variables or secret management systems
# Good: Use environment variables
export FINTELITE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# In your code
curl https://api-vision.fintelite.ai/health \
  -H "X-API-Key: $FINTELITE_API_KEY"
Use different API keys for:
  • Development
  • Staging
  • Production
This limits the impact of a compromised key.
Regularly check your API usage dashboard for:
  • Unusual traffic patterns
  • Unexpected geographic locations
  • Failed authentication attempts

Rate Limiting

API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. When rate limited, you’ll receive a 429 status code with QUOTA_EXCEEDED error. Rate limit information is included in response headers:
  • X-RateLimit-Limit: Your rate limit
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining: Remaining requests in current window
  • X-RateLimit-Reset: Time when the limit resets
Contact bd@fintelite.ai to discuss rate limits for your use case.
For complete error codes including authentication and rate limiting errors, see the Error Codes section in API Overview.
