External API Access

Using the API Externally

Access your Fast Mode content from external applications, scripts, and services.

Getting Your API Key

1. Go to Settings → API Keys
2. Click Generate API Key
3. Copy the key immediately — it won't be shown again
4. Store it securely (environment variables, secrets manager)

Finding Your Project ID

Your project ID is shown in Settings under Project Information.

JavaScript/Node.js Example

const API_KEY = process.env.FASTMODE_API_KEY;
const PROJECT_ID = 'your-project-id';

async function getBlogPosts() {
  const response = await fetch(
    'https://api.fastmode.ai/api/external/collections/blog/items',
    {
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}`,
        'X-Tenant-ID': PROJECT_ID
      }
    }
  );
  
  const { data } = await response.json();
  return data;
}

Python Example

import requests

API_KEY = 'your-api-key'
PROJECT_ID = 'your-project-id'

headers = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {API_KEY}',
    'X-Tenant-ID': PROJECT_ID
}

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.fastmode.ai/api/external/collections/blog/items',
    headers=headers
)

posts = response.json()['data']

cURL Example

curl https://api.fastmode.ai/api/external/collections/blog/items \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-Tenant-ID: YOUR_PROJECT_ID"

Security Best Practices

• Never expose API keys in client-side code
• Use environment variables for keys
• Rotate keys periodically
• Delete unused keys
