Authentication

NeuralGate uses API keys to authenticate requests. Keep your keys secure — treat them like passwords.

Getting an API key

1. Go to computeshare.servequake.com/join
2. Enter your email address and submit
3. Click the sign-in link in your email
4. Your API key is shown on your portal page

Using your API key

Include your key in the Authorization header on every request:

Authorization: Bearer ngk_your_api_key_hereCopy

Example

curl https://api.computeshare.servequake.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ngk_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "auto", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}'Copy

API key format

All NeuralGate API keys start with ngk_ followed by 40 random characters:

ngk_IUw2ig5fjcspVNNCLBoCOifnGz8yH34WgFPriDgY

Multiple keys

You can create multiple API keys for different applications or environments. Each key has independent rate limits and usage tracking. Generate new keys from your portal.

Revoking keys

Revoke a compromised key immediately from your portal. Revoked keys stop working instantly — no grace period.

Rate limits

Rate limit headers are returned on every response:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 57
Retry-After: 12  # seconds (on 429)
