API Access & Authentication

Getting API Access

To access the Koveh API services, you need to obtain an API key through our application process.

Application Process

1. Contact Us: Send an email to studio@koveh.com with the following information:

   • Your name and organization
   • Intended use case for the API
   • Expected request volume
   • Technical requirements

2. Required Information: Include in your email:

   • Use Case Description: Detailed explanation of how you plan to use our APIs
   • Business Context: What problem you're solving or what you're building
   • Expected Traffic: Estimated number of requests per day/month
   • Technical Stack: What technologies you're using
   • Contact Information: Your email and preferred contact method

3. Review Process: Our team will review your application within 2-3 business days

4. API Key Issuance: Upon approval, you'll receive your API key and access credentials

Usage Guidelines

• Rate Limits: Each service has specific rate limits (see individual service documentation)
• Monitoring: We monitor API usage for abuse and may contact you if unusual patterns are detected
• Support: Technical support is available for approved API users

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using Bearer tokens in the Authorization header:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.koveh.com/qwen3/chat"

Example Usage

import requests

headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.koveh.com/translation/translate",
    headers=headers,
    json={
        "text": "Hello, world!",
        "source_language": "en",
        "target_language": "es"
    }
)

print(response.json())

Rate Limiting

Each service has its own rate limiting to ensure fair usage:

Error Handling

When rate limits are exceeded or authentication fails, APIs return appropriate HTTP status codes:

{
  "error": "Rate limit exceeded",
  "status_code": 429,
  "retry_after": 60,
  "timestamp": "2025-08-30T09:19:31.245295"
}

Best Practices

1. Store API Keys Securely: Use environment variables or secure key management
2. Implement Retry Logic: Handle rate limits and temporary failures gracefully
3. Monitor Usage: Track your API usage to stay within limits
4. Cache Responses: Cache responses when appropriate to reduce API calls
5. Use HTTPS: Always use HTTPS for API requests
