Authentication

Overview

Confident AI uses API keys for authentication. Every API request must include your API key, which authenticates your request and tracks usage against your quota.

The platform supports a multi-tenant structure for clean project-level isolation and scalability. This gives you modular control with two levels of authentication:

• Organization-level Authentication — Manage organization-wide resources such as projects, teams, and billing.
• Project-level Authentication — Access everything within a specific project, including datasets, prompts, traces, and more.

Organization-Level Auth

Organization-level authentication gives you access to manage teams, billing, and multiple projects across your organization. You'll use the Organization API Key to authenticate.

To retrieve your Organization API Key:

1. Visit app.confident-ai.com and log in.
2. Click on your organization name in the top-left corner.
3. Navigate to Settings to view your Organization Name, Organization ID, and Organization API Key.

You can now copy your Organization API Key and use it for authentication.

Project-Level Auth

Project-level authentication provides access to all resources within a specific project — including datasets, prompts, metric collections, traces, and more.

You can also integrate with DeepEval by setting the key as an environment variable:
