|
The Browser Use Cloud API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can obtain an API key from your [Browser Use Cloud dashboard](https://cloud.browser-use.com/settings/api-keys).
|
|
|
|
## API Keys
|
|
|
|
All API requests must include your API key in the `Authorization` header:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Keep your API keys secure and do not share them in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, or in your browser's developer tools. API keys should be stored securely in environment variables or a secure key management system.
|
|
|
|
## Example Request
|
|
|
|
Here's an example of how to include your API key in a request using Python:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import requests
|
|
|
|
API_KEY = 'your_api_key_here'
|
|
BASE_URL = 'https://api.browser-use.com/api/v1'
|
|
HEADERS = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {API_KEY}'}
|
|
|
|
response = requests.get(f'{BASE_URL}/me', headers=HEADERS)
|
|
print(response.json())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verifying Authentication
|
|
|
|
You can verify that your API key is valid by making a request to the `/api/v1/me` endpoint. See the [Me endpoint documentation](../api-reference/user) for more details.
|
|
|
|
## API Key Security
|
|
|
|
To ensure the security of your API keys:
|
|
|
|
1. **Never share your API key** in publicly accessible areas
|
|
2. **Rotate your API keys** periodically
|
|
3. **Use environment variables** to store API keys in your applications
|
|
4. **Implement proper access controls** for your API keys
|
|
5. **Monitor API key usage** for suspicious activity
|
|
|
|
If you believe your API key has been compromised, you should immediately revoke it and generate a new one from your Browser Use Cloud dashboard.
