API Keys

All API requests require an API key. Generate keys in your dashboard:
  1. Go to app.okrapdf.com/settings/api-keys
  2. Click Create API Key
  3. Copy the key (starts with okra_)
API keys grant full access to your account. Never expose them in client-side code or public repositories.

​
Passing your key

Use one of these two methods: 
curl https://app.okrapdf.com/api/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer okra_YOUR_KEY"

curl https://app.okrapdf.com/api/v1/jobs \
  -H "x-api-key: okra_YOUR_KEY"

​
Security best practices

  • Store keys in environment variables, not in code
  • Use different keys for development and production
  • Rotate keys periodically
  • Revoke keys immediately if compromised
# .env
OKRA_API_KEY=okra_YOUR_KEY

import os
import requests

resp = requests.get(
    "https://app.okrapdf.com/api/v1/jobs",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['OKRA_API_KEY']}"},
)

​
Error responses

Invalid or missing API keys return a 401 status: 
{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "message": "Invalid or revoked API key.",
    "doc_url": "https://okrapdf.dev/api-reference/authentication"
  }
}
