Authentication

Authentication

The Simplified API requires an authentication token for access.

To access our API and generate your key, you have to be subscribed to our AI Writer Pro II or up plan.

🚧

If your account does not have permissions to connect to an endpoint, subscribe to AI Writer Pro 2 or up plan or talk to your Simplified Account Executive to enable API access to your account.

Getting access

Accessing Simplified's API is easy. It'll be available for anyone who has an AI Writer Pro 2 or higher plans.

📘

Make sure you're subscribing to the right AI Writer plan!

To select the AI Writer Pro 2 or up plans, slide the yellow slider up on the pricing page. AI Writer Pro 2 starts at 100,000 words and goes up to 3,000,000. If you need more words, contact our team.

Obtaining your API key

📘

Simplified authenticates your API requests using your account’s API keys.

If you do not include your key when making an API request, or use one that is incorrect or outdated, Simplified returns an error.

Your API key is available in your account settings.

On your account settings, select Simplified API on the left side menu and generate your API Key. You can check our API here.

Select Simplified API on the left side menu of your Account Settings

After creating your API Key, make sure to copy and store in a safe place.

🚧

Be careful with your API key!

Save your key in a secure location

  • Do not store in public places or shared docs
  • Treat it like a password, it guarantees your API safety
  • If security is compromised, regenerate your key

Remember never to commit your keys to the public domain. This API key will be used in Authorizing API key.

Making a test API request

Run a test directly from the API interface.

Select a template and on the right side, under Authorization, add Api-Key [key] to run a test.

Add you key correctly:

On the Header section, you have to enter 'Api-Key' before the key. It should look like this:
