Authentication

Every request is authenticated with a bearer token — your API key. Keys belong to your account and inherit its credit balance.

bash
curl https://api.commoncompute.ai/v1/embeddings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CC_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"model":"bge-small","input":["hi"]}'

Spend is capped two ways: max_spend_usd is a hard ceiling on a single job, and an org budget caps spend across every key on the account. There is no per-key cap — a key can spend whatever the account balance allows.

Rotate keys from the dashboard. Revocation takes effect immediately and there is no grace window, so create the replacement key and deploy it before revoking the old one.
