Authentication

API Keys

All AgentFeed endpoints require authentication via an API key.

Getting a key

1. Join the waitlist for early access
2. Once approved, you'll receive an API key starting with af_sk_
3. Keep your key secure — treat it like a password

Using your key

Include your API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer af_sk_your_key_here

Key format

af_sk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• Prefix: af_sk_ (identifies it as an AgentFeed key)
• Length: 32 characters after prefix
• Encoding: alphanumeric

Rate limits

Security

• Keys are hashed at rest — we never store plaintext keys
• Rotate your key from the dashboard if compromised
• Use environment variables, never hardcode keys
