How to Get Your API Key

Your API key authenticates your requests to the Templated API.

Finding Your API Key

1. Log in to app.templated.io
2. Click API Integration in the left sidebar
3. Your API key is displayed—click the copy button to copy it

Using Your API Key

Include it in the Authorization header of every API request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Example

fetch('https://api.templated.io/v1/render', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer sk_live_abc123xyz789...'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    template: 'TEMPLATE_ID',
    layers: { title: { text: 'Hello' } }
  })
});

Security Best Practices

• Never expose your API key in client-side code (browsers)
• Store it in environment variables on your server
• Use server-side code to make API calls
• If compromised, reset it immediately

API Key Format

Your key looks like:

sk_live_aBcDeFgHiJkLmNoPqRsTuVwXyZ123456

The sk_live_ prefix indicates a live production key.

For no-code platforms (Make, Zapier, n8n), paste this same key when prompted for authentication.
