pip install requestsAuthentication
All API requests require authentication via an API key. You can get your API key from the Atlas Cloud dashboard.
export ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"HTTP Headers
import os
API_KEY = os.environ.get("ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY")
headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"
}Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories. Use environment variables or a backend proxy instead.
Submit a request
