4

Copy and Secure Your API Key

After creating your key:
  • Copy your API key immediately (it looks like: sk-mai-xxxxx...)
  • Store it securely (you won’t be able to see it again)
  • Never commit it to version control or share it publicly
Security Best Practice: Treat your API key like a password. Store it in environment variables or a secure key management system.

​
Using Your API Key

Once you have your API key, include it in the Authorization header of all API requests: 
import requests

BASE_URL = "https://mavi-backend.memories.ai/serve/api/v2"
API_KEY = "sk-mai-your-actual-key-here"

headers = {
    "Authorization": API_KEY
}

response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE_URL}/upload",
    headers=headers,
    files={"file": open("video.mp4", "rb")}
)

print(response.json())
