Introduction

The Atla API is available to all Atla users. You can sign up here to get your API key, if you have not done so already.

You can interact with the API through HTTP requests from any programming language or through our Python SDK.

​

Authentication

All API requests must include an API key for authorization.

You can get an API key from your Atla dashboard.

When using our Client SDKs, you can set your API key either in the client constructor or as the ATLA_API_KEY environment variable. The SDK will then handle authorization automatically.

For HTTP requests, include an Authorization header as follows:

Authorization: Bearer $ATLA_API_KEY

​

Content types

The Atla API accepts and returns JSON in request and response bodies. Include the following header in your API requests:

Content-Type: application/json

As with authorization, our Client SDKs handle content type headers automatically.
