Using Your API Key

Authentication is performed via the Authorization header with a Bearer token:

curl -X POST https://api.valsea.ai/v1/translations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer vl_abc123..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "valsea-translate", "text": "Hello", "target": "chinese"}'

Credits

Each API call consumes credits from your account. Different endpoints have different credit costs.
