API quickstart

1. 1

   Create an API key

   Sign in to the console, open Settings → API keys and press Create an API key. Give it a name that says where it will live, such as “Production server” or “Zapier”.

   The key is shown once. We store only a hash of it, so it cannot be shown again. Copy it before you close the dialog. Owners and admins can create keys.
2. 2

   Put it in your environment

   Every example reads the key from PREPAID_API_KEY. Keep it in your server’s environment or secret store, never in browser code, a mobile app or a repository.

   TerminalCopy

   1export PREPAID_API_KEY="pk_live_your_key_here"

3. 3

   Make your first request

   Your balance is the simplest read there is.

   GET /api/v1/balance

   cURLJavaScriptPython

   Copy

   1curl https://app.prepaid.ai/api/v1/balance \2  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PREPAID_API_KEY"

4. 4

   Read your calls

   The same key reads everything else. List calls returns the newest first, and one call carries its transcript.

   TerminalCopy

   1curl "https://app.prepaid.ai/api/v1/calls?limit=5" \2  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PREPAID_API_KEY"
