# API Reference

This guide will help you get set up with the MegaNova APIs, organized by tier-specific features and limitations.

## Getting Your API Key

API keys are automatically generated for each user upon account creation. You can view, renew, or revoke your API key in the MegaNova user dashboard:

* **View/Renew API Key:** Log in to your [user dashboard](https://console.meganova.ai/) to view or renew your API key. If you renew your key, the old one will be invalidated.
* **Security Note:** Keep your API key secure. If you suspect it has been compromised, renew it immediately.

## API Types

MegaNova provides two main APIs:

### Platform API

* For managing billing and account resources.
* **BASE URL:** `https://api.meganova.ai`
* **BASE PATH:** `/api/v1`
* **API\_URL:** `https://api.meganova.ai/api/v1`

### Inference API (OpenAI Compatible)

* For running inference (text, vision, image, embeddings) using serverless endpoints.
* **BASE URL:** `https://api.meganova.ai/v1`
* **OpenAI compatible**: Use OpenAI SDKs and tools.

### Enterprise Endpoint (OpenAI Compatible)

* The same models and the same API key, served from dedicated enterprise deployments instead of the shared pool.
* **BASE URL:** `https://enterprise.api.meganova.ai/v1`
* See [Enterprise Endpoint](/enterprise/enterprise-endpoint.md) for which models are available and how usage is billed.
