Getting Started with API Authentication

All Prezent APIs use API key-based authentication to ensure secure access. This guide walks you through how to generate your API key, authenticate your requests, and make your first API call.

How Authentication Works​

You must include your API key in the Authorization header of every request using the Bearer token format:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

⚠️ Note: API keys are masked after generation. Please download and save your key safely, as you won't be able to view it again.

Generate Your API Key​

Reach out to your Customer Success Manager to get access to your API Key

Example: Authenticating with Auto Generate API​

curl -X POST https://api.prezent.ai/api/v1/autogenerator \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "prompt": "Generate a presentation on AI trends",
    "template_id": "<your-template-id>"
  }'

Example: Authenticating with SCIM - User Management API​

curl -X GET https://api.prezent.ai/api/v1/scim/Users \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Test Using Postman​

You can also test any of these APIs in Postman:

  • Set the method (e.g., POST, GET)
  • Add Authorization as a Bearer Token
  • Provide your API_KEY
  • Add Content-Type: application/json (if needed)

Error Handling​

If you provide an invalid or missing token, you will receive a 401 Unauthorized error:

{
  "statusCode": 401,
  "body": {
    "message": "Unauthorized: Invalid or missing API key"
  }
}
