API keys

The Vortex PDF API uses Bearer token authentication to secure API requests.

​

Overview

API keys are used to authenticate requests to the Vortex PDF API. Each API key is associated with your account.

​

Authentication headers

​

Usage

Include your API key in the Authorization header of your HTTP requests:

curl -X POST https://vortexpdf.com/api/v1/renderers/pdf \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "parts": "https://example.com"

Security best practices

• Keep keys secure: Never expose your API keys in client-side code or public repositories
• Use environment variables: Store API keys in environment variables rather than hardcoding them
• Rotate keys regularly: Periodically generate new API keys and deprecate old ones
