View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Covers two ways to authenticate with the Venice API: Bearer API keys for account-based access, and x402/SIWE wallet signing for pay-per-request usage without an account. Includes header formats, SIWE message field requirements, TTL and nonce rules, and guidance on when to use each method.
Venice has two distinct auth flows with specific header formats, nonce rules, and timing constraints, and this skill lays out both side by side so you don't have to piece it together from the OpenAPI spec.
When to use it
- Setting up Bearer auth headers for server-side Venice API calls
- Signing SIWE messages with an Ethereum wallet to call Venice endpoints without an account
- Debugging 401 errors from expired SIWE headers or mismatched timestamps
- Choosing between Bearer keys and x402 wallet auth for a new integration
- Rotating SIWE signed headers within the 5-minute validity window
