Securing your data and ensuring that access to the Extracta.ai API is protected are our top priorities. This section outlines the process of obtaining an API key, which is necessary for authenticating your API requests.
To begin using the Extracta.ai API, you'll need to obtain an API key. This key is unique to your account and serves as the credential for accessing the API.
Visit to sign up for an Extracta.ai account. Fill in the required details to register and submit your registration.
Once your account is set up, log in and navigate to the /api page on the dashboard. Here, you'll find the option to generate a new API key. Click on the "Generate a new API Key" button and follow the prompts. Your new API key will be displayed once generated. Make sure to copy and store it in a secure location.
With your API key in hand, you're ready to start making authenticated requests to the Extracta.ai API. To authenticate, include your API key in the header of each request as follows:
Replace <Your_API_Key_Here> with the API key you generated in the previous step.
Do not share your API key publicly or with unauthorized individuals. Treat it as you would your password.
Regenerate your API key if you suspect it has been compromised. You can do this from the same /api page where you generated it initially.
If you encounter any issues while generating or using your API key, please contact support for assistance.
