Getting Started with the API

All Moondream APIs use a consistent request/response format and authentication method. To get started with any endpoint:

  1. Obtain an API key from the Cloud Dashboard
  2. Include your API key in the request headers as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  3. Send your request using JSON format to the appropriate endpoint
  4. Process the JSON response according to your application needs
