Authentication

RouteStack uses bearer token authentication.

​
Header format

Send your token in the Authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ROUTESTACK_TOKEN

​
Where to create tokens

In the console: 
Console -> Token Management

​
Token recommendations

  • create different tokens for production and testing
  • rotate tokens if a key may have leaked
  • apply model limits when a token should only access specific models

​
Common authentication errors

​
401 Unauthorized

Usually caused by one of the following:
  • the token is missing
  • the token is invalid
  • the token has expired
  • the user behind the token is disabled

​
Model not available

This often means:
  • the token has model restrictions
  • your user group cannot use that model
  • the model is disabled by the platform
