A valid Levanto API key is always required for decision calls. Every POST to /decide and /decide/batch must carry a key; requests without one are rejected with HTTP 401.

Sending the key

Send the key in the Authorization header:
Keys look like lv_live_.... If you don’t have one yet, create it in the dashboard under Intelligence → API Keys. Only /decide and /decide/batch require a key. GET /ready does not — use it to check model readiness before you have a key.

Error responses

Handling keys safely

Never hardcode, log, echo, or commit your API key. Read it from an environment variable (for example SAGE_API_KEY) and pass it only in the request header.
