Authentication

Create Prism API keys, send bearer tokens in API requests, understand available scopes, and manage or revoke keys securely from your dashboard.

All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Create an API key

1. Go to Settings > API Keys in your Prism dashboard.
2. Click Create Key and give it a name.
3. Copy the key immediately — it is only shown once.

Using your API key

Include the key in every request as a Bearer token:

curl https://www.prismvideos.com/api/templates \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer prism_sk_your_key_here"

Scopes

API keys are issued with scopes that control what they can access:

Scope	Access
templates:read	Current beta API access: upload references, submit video generations, create/list characters, list templates, fetch template details, search assets, and check generation status

All keys include templates:read by default.

Key management

You can create multiple keys and revoke them independently. Revoking a key immediately prevents any further requests using that key.

Treat your API keys like passwords. Do not share them in client-side code, public repositories, or insecure channels.
