# API Authentication
All AITBC API endpoints require authentication using API keys.
## Getting API Keys
1. Visit the [AITBC Dashboard](https://dashboard.aitbc.io)
2. Create an account or sign in
3. Navigate to API Keys section
4. Generate a new API key
## Using API Keys
### HTTP Header
```http
X-API-Key: your_api_key_here
```
### Environment Variable
```bash
export AITBC_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
```
### SDK Configuration
```python
from aitbc import AITBCClient
client = AITBCClient(api_key="your_api_key")
```
## Security Best Practices
- Never commit API keys to version control
- Use environment variables in production
- Rotate keys regularly
- Use different keys for different environments
- Monitor API key usage
## Rate Limits
API requests are rate-limited based on your plan:
- Free: 60 requests/minute
- Pro: 600 requests/minute
- Enterprise: 6000 requests/minute
## Error Handling
```python
from aitbc.exceptions import AuthenticationError
try:
client.jobs.create({...})
except AuthenticationError:
print("Invalid API key")
```
## Key Management
### View Your Keys
```bash
aitbc api-keys list
```
### Revoke a Key
```bash
aitbc api-keys revoke <key_id>
```
### Regenerate a Key
```bash
aitbc api-keys regenerate <key_id>
```
