API and Session Keys

In addition to the API key, Xinfer.AI provides a more secure and safe temporary session key mechanism for client-side use. It ensures your integration with our services remains secure, efficient, and scalable.

API Key

Long-term Access:

• Lifetime: Designed for extended use, API Keys last from days to years.
• Scope: Come with specific scopes defining their access limits.
• Functionality: It can generate new API and Session Keys with shorter lifetimes and lesser scopes.
• Security: Access can be revoked instantly.
• Identifier: Starts with api- for easy visual distinction.

Session Key

Temporary Access:

• Lifetime: Designed for short use, measured in minutes.
• Scope: Inherit their parent API Key's scope but can be restricted further.
• Security: Access can be instantly revoked and expires frequently.
• Identifier: Starts with ses- for easy visual distinction.

Usage

Both keys can be used as bearer tokens in the Authorization Header or in the query string with the name key.
