# Using Anthropic key

client = AsyncDedalus(api_key="your-anthropic-api-key-here")

HTTP API Authentication

When making direct HTTP requests to the Dedalus API, authenticate using either:
  • Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key> header
  • x-api-key: <your_api_key> header
Both headers are supported for all API endpoints.
