API key authentication and key management

Getting an API Key

Go to Settings

Open Settings → API Keys in your Yoshi dashboard.

Create a key

Click Create API Key and give it a name.

Copy the key

Copy the key immediately — it won’t be shown again. Keys start with yoshi_.

Using Your Key

Include it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

curl https://api.yoshi.ai/accounts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer yoshi_3xK9mP..."

import httpx

response = httpx.get(
    "https://api.yoshi.ai/accounts",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer yoshi_3xK9mP..."},
)
print(response.json())

const response = await fetch("https://api.yoshi.ai/accounts", {
  headers: { Authorization: "Bearer yoshi_3xK9mP..." },
});
const data = await response.json();

Key Management

You can have multiple active keys for zero-downtime rotation
Revoke a key instantly from the dashboard — it takes effect globally within seconds
Keys are hashed by our provider and never stored in plaintext

Never commit API keys to source control. The yoshi_ prefix enables secret scanning in GitHub and GitGuardian.

Rate Limit Headers

Every response includes rate limit information. See Rate Limits for details.
