Authentication

Bumpups API uses API keys to authenticate requests. Once you’ve created an account and generated your API key, include it in the X-Api-Key request header on every call:

curl https://api.bumpups.com/chat \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_BUMPUPS_API_KEY' \

Important: Keep your API key secure and do not expose it in client-side code. Production requests must be routed through your own backend server where the key can be securely stored.

Steps to Create an API Key

1. Log into your developer account

2. Enable API Groups

   • Choose from our various endpoint groups (e.g., Creator, General, Chat, etc.)

   • Enabling an endpoint group is free and incurs no additional charges

3. Create an App

   • Once created, you’ll be issued your API key

Note: This is a pay-per-use key. After creating your app, ensure you have added credits in your Billing dashboard (My Account > Manage Billing > Credit Balance > Add Credit) before making production requests.
