Quickstart
Create a Management API key and make your first Koneth API request.
This guide uses a scoped Management API key to read your organization’s API credit balance.
Prerequisites
Section titled “Prerequisites”You need:
- A Koneth organization with an active credit wallet.
- Permission to manage API keys in Koneth Console.
- A key with the
credits:readscope.
1. Create an API key
Section titled “1. Create an API key”In Koneth Console:
- Open API keys
Select your organization, then open API keys.
- Choose access
Give the key a clear name and select
credits:read. Keys created by the current Console form can access all organization servers, subject to their selected scopes. - Store the key
Copy the generated
kapi...value into your secret manager. Koneth shows the full key only once.
2. Set your environment variable
Section titled “2. Set your environment variable”export KONETH_API_KEY="kapi.your-key-id.your-secret"Do not commit this value to source control or expose it in client-side code.
3. Send a request
Section titled “3. Send a request”curl --request GET \ --url https://api.koneth.com/api/v1/management/credits/balance \ --header "Authorization: Management $KONETH_API_KEY" \ --header "X-Request-Id: quickstart-balance-001"const response = await fetch( "https://api.koneth.com/api/v1/management/credits/balance", { headers: { Authorization: `Management ${process.env.KONETH_API_KEY}`, "X-Request-Id": "quickstart-balance-001", }, },);
if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`Koneth request failed: ${response.status}`);}
const { wallet } = await response.json();console.log(wallet.availableCredits);import osimport requests
response = requests.get( "https://api.koneth.com/api/v1/management/credits/balance", headers={ "Authorization": f"Management {os.environ['KONETH_API_KEY']}", "X-Request-Id": "quickstart-balance-001", }, timeout=30,)response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json()["wallet"]["availableCredits"])A successful response contains the current wallet and low-balance state:
{ "wallet": { "id": "0f6f2d88-9357-4ce6-9b9e-76db2f98bb2e", "organizationId": "b7378db4-5a7a-4e69-a8df-04f2e6d94243", "availableCredits": 24890, "reservedCredits": 0, "lifetimePurchased": 30000, "lifetimeConsumed": 5110, "lowBalanceThreshold": 10000, "createdAt": "2026-08-01T09:00:00.000Z", "updatedAt": "2026-08-25T01:30:00.000Z", "lowBalance": false }}4.
