Authentication - Intellibase Docs

Overview

All Intellibase API requests require authentication using API keys. API keys are generated from the Intellibase Dashboard and provide programmatic access to your projects and data.

Getting Your API Key

Navigate to the Intellibase Dashboard and sign in with your account.

Navigate to API Keys

Go to the API Keys section in the dashboard sidebar.

Create a New Key

Click Create API Key, give it a descriptive name, and optionally set an expiration date.

Copy Your Key

Copy the API key immediately - it starts with ib-.

Store your API key securely!

Never commit it to version control
Don’t share it in public forums or code
Use environment variables to store it
Rotate keys periodically for security

Using API Keys

Authorization Header

Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token:

curl https://api.intellibase.dev/api/v1/projects \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ib-your-api-key-here"

Code Examples

Python
TypeScript
cURL

import os
import requests

# Load API key from environment variable
API_KEY = os.environ.get("INTELLIBASE_API_KEY")

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.intellibase.dev/api/v1/projects",
    headers=headers
)

if response.status_code == 200:
    projects = response.json()["projects"]
    print(f"Found {len(projects)} projects")
elif response.status_code == 401:
    print("Invalid API key")
else:
    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")

const API_KEY = process.env.INTELLIBASE_API_KEY;

const headers = {
  "Authorization": `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
  "Content-Type": "application/json"
};

const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.intellibase.dev/api/v1/projects",
  { headers }
);

if (response.ok) {
  const { projects } = await response.json();
  console.log(`Found ${projects.length} projects`);
} else if (response.status === 401) {
  console.error("Invalid API key");
} else {
  console.error(`Error: ${response.status}`);
}

# Set your API key as an environment variable
export INTELLIBASE_API_KEY="ib-your-api-key-here"

# Use it in requests
curl https://api.intellibase.dev/api/v1/projects \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $INTELLIBASE_API_KEY"
