How to get and use your API key
Authentication
Every request requires a valid API key passed as a Bearer token.
Getting a key
- Sign in at app.seemor.ai
- Go to the Developer Portal
- Click Activate Developer Access (one-time setup)
- Click Create Key -- your key will be shown once
Your key starts with sk_seemor_ and looks like: sk_seemor_abc123def456...
Store your key securely. It is shown only once at creation. If lost, rotate the key from the developer portal.
Using the key
Include it as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:
curl -X POST https://api.seemor.ai/api/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_seemor_YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ ... }'Key tiers
| Tier | Access | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | find_restaurant, search_restaurants, explore_area, lookup_restaurant (basic) | Automatic on key creation |
| Paid | All tools, all field levels | Request upgrade |
Free keys are rate-limited to 100 requests/minute and 2,000/day. See Rate Limits.
Key management
From the Developer Portal you can:
- Rotate a key (generates a new key, invalidates the old one)
- Revoke a key (permanently disables it)
Security
- Never expose keys in client-side code or public repositories
- Use environment variables to store keys
- Rotate immediately if a key is compromised
