API Keys

API keys are used to authenticate your requests to Atlas Cloud APIs. Every API call requires a valid API key.

Create an API Key

1. Log in to Atlas Cloud Console
2. Go to Account Settings
3. Expand the API Key Management section
4. Click Create API Key
5. Copy your new API key and store it securely

Your API key will only be shown once when created. If you lose it, you'll need to create a new one.

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header of every API request:

Authorization: Bearer your-api-key

LLM / Chat Completions (OpenAI-Compatible)

Base URL: https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_url="https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="deepseek-v3",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
)

Image / Video Generation

Base URL: https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/generateImage",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key"},
    json={
        "model": "seedream-3.0",
        "prompt": "A cat sitting on a rainbow"
    }
)

Upload Media

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.atlascloud.ai/api/v1/model/uploadMedia",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key"},
    files={"file": open("photo.jpg", "rb")}
)

# Returns a temporary URL for use with generation tasks
print(response.json())

Third-Party Tool Integration

You can use your Atlas Cloud API key with any OpenAI-compatible tool or application. Popular options include:

When configuring third-party tools:

• API Host / Base URL: https://api.atlascloud.ai/v1 (the /v1 suffix is required)
• API Key: Your Atlas Cloud API key
• Model Name: Any model from the Model Library

Security Best Practices

• Never share your API key or commit it to version control
• Use environment variables to store your API key:

  export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key"

• Rotate keys regularly — delete old keys and create new ones
• Use separate keys for development and production environments
• Monitor usage in the Console to detect unauthorized usage

Key Management

You can manage your API keys in Account Settings:

• Create — Generate new API keys as needed
• Delete — Revoke API keys that are no longer needed or may have been compromised
• View usage — Monitor API usage and costs associated with each key

Rate Limits

API rate limits vary by account tier and model type. If you encounter rate limit errors (429 Too Many Requests), consider:

• Adding a small delay between requests
• Using exponential backoff for retries
• Contacting [email protected] for higher limits
