Authentication

GenRex uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can manage your API keys from your dashboard.

Getting an API Key

1. Sign in to your GenRex dashboard
2. Navigate to Developer in the sidebar
3. Click Create API Key
4. Give your key a descriptive name and copy it

API Key Format

GenRex API keys use the following format:

grx_sk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• grx_sk_ - Prefix identifying GenRex secret keys
• Followed by 48 hexadecimal characters
• Total length: 55 characters

Using the API Key

Include your API key using one of these methods:

Authorization Header (recommended)

Authorization: Bearer grx_sk_your_api_key_here

X-API-Key Header

X-API-Key: grx_sk_your_api_key_here

Example Request

curl -X POST https://api.genrex.io/v1/document/create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer grx_sk_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt": "Write about AI trends"}'

const response = await fetch('https://api.genrex.io/v1/document/create', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer grx_sk_your_api_key',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    prompt: 'Write about AI trends'
  })
});

const data = await response.json();

$response = Http::withHeaders([
    'Authorization' => 'Bearer grx_sk_your_api_key',
])->post('https://api.genrex.io/v1/document/create', [
    'prompt' => 'Write about AI trends'
]);

$data = $response->json();

Security Best Practices

• Never expose API keys in client-side code or public repositories
• Use environment variables to store API keys
• Rotate keys periodically and immediately if compromised
• Create separate keys for different applications or environments
