Getting started
Get your API key and make your first OutDocAI API request.
Connect your own app to OutDocAI — upload documents, ask questions, and generate reports with a simple API key.
1. Get your API key
Keys are managed on the Organization page.
- Sign in to OutDocAI as an organization admin.
- Open Organization, then click View API Key.
- Copy the key (it starts with
od_). - To rotate it later, click the regenerate icon — the old key stops working right away.
Keep this key private, like a password. Only use it from your server — not from browser code or public repos.
2. How to authenticate
Send your key on every request:
Authorization: Bearer od_your_key_here3. Base URL
All public endpoints live under:
http://localhost:8000/api/v1/publicIn production, replace the host with your API base.
4. Try a first request
curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/public/organization \
-H "Authorization: Bearer od_your_key_here"You should get back your organization name and id. If you see 401, double-check the key.
