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

1

Log in to the Dashboard

Navigate to the Intellibase Dashboard and sign in with your account.
2

Navigate to API Keys

Go to the API Keys section in the dashboard sidebar.
3

Create a New Key

Click Create API Key, give it a descriptive name, and optionally set an expiration date.
4

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}")
