Accessing the API

We offer two types of API keys:
  • Production API Key: Used for live, real-world applications with higher rate limits.
  • Sandbox API Key: Used for development and testing purposes with lower rate limits and a 4-week expiration period.
To obtain a Production API key, you must log in to the ParDocs Console and Create a new API key. To obtain a Sandbox API key, please contact us directly on Discord. We will assist you in setting up the appropriate access based on your needs.
