Authentication

Start making requests to the Recall API.

API Keys

API keys are used to authenticate to the Recall.ai platform.

You can create and manage your API keys in the Recall dashboard:

📘

API keys belong to individual users, but access is Workspace-scoped. This means that multiple accounts under the same environment share access to the same resources, but have their own API keys.

We highly recommend adding a service account such as [email protected] when creating API keys for production Workspaces. Should a team member leave in the future, this will ensure that no production workflows are interrupted when you revoke their access.


HTTP Header: Token Authorization

All requests must be authenticated by providing your Recall API key in the HTTP Authorization header:

Authorization: $RECALLAI_API_KEY

Unauthenticated requests will receive a 401 error: 401: Unauthorized.


📘

The Token prefix is optional, and can be safely omitted.
