Getting Started
Authentication
How to authenticate with the SerperMatrix API.
Every API request requires an API key in the X-API-KEY header.
Getting your key
- Sign up at serpermatrix.com/auth/signup
- Go to Dashboard → API Keys
- Click Create Key
- Copy the key — it is shown only once
Your API key grants full access to your credits. Never expose it in client-side code.
Usage
POST /api/v1/search
X-API-KEY: sm_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Content-Type: application/json
Security best practices
- Store keys in environment variables, never in source code
- Rotate keys regularly from the dashboard
- Revoke any key you suspect is compromised
