Authentication

Every request carries an API key as a bearer token:

curl https://api.reedapt.com/v1/usage \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rk_live_…"

A request without a valid key gets 401 UNAUTHORIZED.

Making a key

Open Reedapt and choose Developers in the account menu. Name the key, pick live or test, and copy it. A key is shown once, when you make it. If you lose it, revoke it and make another.

Live and test keys

	Live key	Test key
Starts with	`rk_live_`	`rk_test_`
Available on	Paid plans and API agreements	Every account, free
What it dubs	The whole file	The first 60 seconds, with a watermark
Billing	Per minute of source media, per language	Free
Files	Video and audio	Video only
Limits	Your minutes and dubs at once	20 dubs a day

Everything else works the same way, so code you write against a test key works unchanged with a live one. A test dub has "test": true and preview_seconds set, and its files are only the watermarked dub.

Keeping keys safe

Use keys only from your server. Never put a key in a web page, a mobile app, or anything people can download. Anyone with the key can spend your minutes.

Keep keys in environment variables or a secrets manager, not in your code or repository.
Make one key per system, so you can revoke one without touching the others.
Revoke a key in Developers if it may have leaked. It stops working within a minute.

Checking a key

GET /usage tells you which plan and kind of key you’re using and how many minutes are left:

Response

{
  "plan": "pro",
  "key_mode": "live",
  "minutes_remaining": 184.5,
  "unlimited": false,
  "test_preview_seconds": 60
}
