- Create an account at spot.ai and log into your dashboard
- Navigate to Settings → API Keys and generate a new API key
- In Postman, create a new request and set Authorization type to Bearer Token
- Paste your API key as the Bearer Token value
- Try GET https://api.spot.ai/v1/cameras to list your cameras
- Tip: save your key as a Postman variable {{spot_api_key}} to reuse across requests
What can you build with Spot AI?
Spot AI is a AI API. Developers commonly use ai APIs for:
- adding natural language processing to your product
- generating images, text, or code with AI models
- building chatbots and virtual assistants
- running sentiment analysis on customer feedback
- powering recommendation and personalisation engines
API Key authentication. You'll receive a key after signing up. Send it with every request — in a header or query parameter. Keep it out of client-side code and never commit it to version control. Spot AI is a paid API — check the provider's pricing page before building a production integration.
