Authentication

All API requests must include a valid API key in the Authorization header using the Bearer token scheme, along with the x-wayinvideo-api-version header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
x-wayinvideo-api-version: v2

Obtaining an API Key

Log in to your WayinVideo API Dashboard
Click Create API Key to generate a new key
Copy and securely store your API key — it will only be shown once

Important: Keep your API key secret. Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories. If you suspect a key has been compromised, delete it and create a new one immediately.

Making Authenticated Requests

Include the Authorization header in every request:

curl -X POST https://wayinvideo-api.wayin.ai/open/v2/clips \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "x-wayinvideo-api-version: v2" \
  -d '{"video_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example"}'
