### API key

### Headers

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string">
  Your API key. This is required by most endpoints to access our API programatically. You can get your api key by clicking on 'API reference' tab under your profile icon.
</ParamField>

## Tips

Make sure to load only a model file with `.safetensors` extension.

When you're loading a model from huggingface, please change part of the url from /blog/main to /resolve/main.
For example, if you're loading a model from
`https://huggingface.co/SG161222/Realistic_Vision_V4.0/blob/main/Realistic_Vision_V4.0.safetensors`, then you should set the url in the param to
`https://huggingface.co/SG161222/Realistic_Vision_V4.0/resolve/main/Realistic_Vision_V4.0.safetensors`
In addition to checkpoint models, you can also load loras by specifying the model type.

If you're loading a model from civitai, make sure to follow the format `https://civitai.com/api/download/models/<modelId>?type=Model&format=SafeTensor`

Following field is optional: `support_inpainting` - this defaults to false.
