How to use your Whisper API Key

If you’re looking for your OpenAI API key, this guide is not for you. You should go to the OpenAI Platform

Step 1: Greate an account

Go to the Whisper API and create an account. Once you have created an account, you will be redirected to the dashboard. Once there, you should see an API Key card with a clipboard icon:

Click on the clipboard icon to copy the API key to your clipboard.

Step 2: Use the API Key

You can now use the API Key to authenticate your requests to the Whisper API. Use the X-API-Key header to pass the API key. To test if the API key is working, you can make a GET request to the /me endpoint:

curl \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  https://api.whisper-api.com/me

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key you copied in the previous step. If the request is successful, you should receive a response like this:

{
  "success": true,
  "user_id": 2,
  "tier": "free",
  "daily_usage": 1,
  "monthly_usage": 12
}

If you receive the following response, then it means your API Key is not valid:

{
  "detail": "Invalid API key"
}

Please make sure you have copied the API key correctly and that you are passing it in the X-API-Key header. If you are still having issues, please contact support and we will be happy to help you out.

That’s it!
