Venice Authentication

Every Venice endpoint accepts one of two auth schemes, declared in the OpenAPI spec as BearerAuth and siwx. Both are first-class — pick whichever fits the deployment.

Use when

You're making your first call to api.venice.ai.
You're building a server-side integration (usually Bearer) or an agent / no-account wallet flow (x402).
You hit 401 Authentication failed and need to check header format.
You're implementing SIWE signing manually instead of using the SDK.

Option A — Bearer API key

Authorization: Bearer <VENICE_API_KEY>

Create keys at https://venice.ai/settings/api or via venice-api-keys.
Keys carry consumptionLimits (USD and/or DIEM caps) and apiKeyType (ADMIN or INFERENCE).
Billing draws from DIEM (staked), USD balance, and bundled credits in order.
Key types determine which endpoints are reachable — only ADMIN keys can manage other keys.

curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
    "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"hello"}]
  }'

Use the Bearer scheme when you have a Venice account, want usage analytics (/billing/usage-analytics), want to issue scoped child keys, or need DIEM / bundled credit priority.

Option B — x402 wallet (SIWX)

Authenticate with an Ethereum wallet on Base or a Solana wallet on Solana mainnet. No account needed. Pay per request in USDC. Balance lives under your wallet address and is consumed automatically.

Header

SIGN-IN-WITH-X: <base64(json)>

SIGN-IN-WITH-X is the canonical x402 v2 header name. Venice's original X-Sign-In-With-X is still accepted for backwards compatibility, so existing integrations keep working, but new code should send the canonical name.

Where the decoded JSON is:

Field	Notes
`address`	EVM (checksummed hex) or Solana (base58) wallet address.
`message`	The signed SIWX message. EVM uses EIP-4361 SIWE; Solana uses the Solana SIWX format. Optional if you send the structured fields instead (see below).
`signature`	EVM signatures are hex. Solana signatures may be base58 or base64.
`timestamp`	Unix ms. Venice-legacy field. Canonical SIWX relies on the signed `Issued At` instead, and Venice only cross-checks `timestamp` when you send it.
`chainId`	`8453`, `"8453"`, or `"eip155:8453"` for Base. `"solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp"` for Solana.
`type`	Optional signature type. `"ed25519"` for Solana. Omitted means EVM / EIP-191.

{
  "address":   "0x... (checksummed)",
  "message":   "<SIWE message string from SiweMessage.prepareMessage()>",
  "signature": "0x... (hex)",
  "timestamp": 1712659200000,
  "chainId":   8453
}

You may also omit message and send the structured SIWX fields (domain, address, uri, version, nonce, issuedAt, expirationTime, notBefore, statement, resources, chainId, type). Venice rebuilds the exact message bytes server-side and verifies the signature over them. The rebuilt Chain ID line uses the bare reference (8453, 5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp), not the CAIP-2 form, so sign the bare value.

SIWE message fields (EIP-4361, EVM)

Field	Value
`domain`	One of the allow-listed Venice domains: `venice.ai`, `api.venice.ai`, `outerface.venice.ai`, `preview.venice.ai`, `staging.venice.ai` (plus `localhost` in dev). The server's own generated challenge uses `api.venice.ai`.
`uri`	Matching `https://<domain>` URL.
`version`	`"1"`
`address`	the wallet's checksummed address
`statement`	`"Sign in to Venice AI"` (what the server's generated challenge uses — any string is accepted, this one keeps consent UX consistent).
`nonce`	random 16-char hex, single-use per wallet
`issuedAt` / `expirationTime`	ISO-8601. Server enforces a hard 5-minute window from `issuedAt` (`expirationTime` is informational only).
`chainId`	`8453` — accepted as number (`8453`), numeric string (`"8453"`), or CAIP-2 (`"eip155:8453"`).

The header is short-lived — generate a fresh one at most every ~4 minutes (server accepts up to 5 min from issuedAt). When you send the legacy timestamp field it must be within 30 seconds of the signed issuedAt; omit it and only issuedAt is checked. issuedAt must not be more than 30 seconds ahead of server time (X402_SIGN_IN_FUTURE_TIMESTAMP). Nonces are single-use per wallet — reuse within ~5.5 minutes is rejected with X402_SIGN_IN_NONCE_REUSED.

Domain is validated against the allow-list above — not against the incoming request's Host header. Passing any allow-listed domain (e.g. api.venice.ai) is fine regardless of which Venice host you hit.

Solana message fields

Solana wallets sign the Solana SIWX message with Ed25519. The message opens with <domain> wants you to sign in with your Solana account:, then the base58 address, then the same URI, Version, Chain ID, Nonce, Issued At, and optional Expiration Time lines as the EVM form:

api.venice.ai wants you to sign in with your Solana account:
7xKX...base58...

Sign in to Venice AI

URI: https://api.venice.ai
Version: 1
Chain ID: 5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp
Nonce: 3f2a91c4d80b7e15
Issued At: 2026-07-28T19:00:00.000Z
Expiration Time: 2026-07-28T19:05:00.000Z

In the base64 payload set type: "ed25519" and chainId: "solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp". The Chain ID line inside the signed message carries the bare reference without the solana: prefix. The same 5-minute window, 30-second skew, and single-use nonce rules apply.

Manual signing (TypeScript)

import { Wallet } from 'ethers'
import { SiweMessage } from 'siwe'

const wallet = new Wallet(process.env.WALLET_KEY!)

function makeSiwxHeader() {
  const msg = new SiweMessage({
    domain: 'api.venice.ai',
    address: wallet.address,
    statement: 'Sign in to Venice AI',
    uri: 'https://api.venice.ai',
    version: '1',
    chainId: 8453,
    nonce: crypto.randomUUID().replace(/-/g, '').slice(0, 16),
    issuedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
    expirationTime: new Date(Date.now() + 4 * 60_000).toISOString(),
  })
  const message = msg.prepareMessage()
  const signature = wallet.signMessageSync(message)
  return btoa(JSON.stringify({
    address: wallet.address,
    message,
    signature,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    chainId: 8453,
  }))
}

const res = await fetch('https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'SIGN-IN-WITH-X': makeSiwxHeader(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'zai-org-glm-5-1',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'hello' }],
  }),
})

SDK shortcut

npm install venice-x402-client

import { VeniceClient } from 'venice-x402-client'

const venice = new VeniceClient(process.env.WALLET_KEY!)

await venice.topUp(10)            // $10 USDC on Base (first time only)
const res = await venice.chat({
  model: 'zai-org-glm-5-1',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
})
console.log(res.choices[0].message.content)

VeniceClient and createAuthFetch handle SIWE signing, header rotation, and 402 top-up prompts automatically.

First-time top-up (wallet → credits)

POST /x402/top-up                # WITHOUT payment header → returns Base + Solana payment requirements
→ pick one entry from accepts[] and sign it with the x402 SDK (createPaymentHeader)
POST /x402/top-up                # WITH PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header → credits land on your wallet address

PAYMENT-SIGNATURE is the canonical x402 v2 payment header. The legacy X-402-Payment and X-PAYMENT names are also accepted.

See venice-x402 for the full flow.

Choosing between the two

Need	Pick
Server-side dashboard with usage analytics	Bearer
Scoped child keys, consumption limits per app	Bearer
DIEM-staked users / bundled credits	Bearer
Serverless function that pays per call	x402
Agents with an on-chain budget, no account	x402
End-user wallets authing directly (browser extension, mobile wallet)	x402
Team sharing — one seed, many consumers	Bearer (+ child keys)

Both schemes can co-exist: a Pro user may generate a Web3 API key via POST /api_keys/generate_web3_key that ties an on-chain wallet to an off-chain key with an EIP-191 signature. See venice-api-keys.

Common auth errors

Status	Likely cause
`401 Authentication failed`	bad/expired key, SIWE older than 5 min from `issuedAt`, `payload.timestamp` off by >30s, `domain` not in the Venice allow-list, unsupported chain id, nonce replayed. The server returns a specific code like `X402_SIGN_IN_EXPIRED`, `X402_SIGN_IN_TIMESTAMP_MISMATCH`, `X402_SIGN_IN_DOMAIN_MISMATCH`, `X402_SIGN_IN_NONCE_REUSED`, or `X402_SIGN_IN_INVALID_CHAIN_ID` (code always set; `message` may fall back to generic text for some codes).
`402 x402` (no header)	`SIGN-IN-WITH-X` is missing on an SIWX-gated route (`/x402/balance`, `/x402/transactions`). Add the header.
`401 This model is only available to Pro users`	using x402 or an INFERENCE key on a gated model — switch to a Pro Bearer key
`402 PAYMENT_REQUIRED` (x402)	wallet balance too low; read `topUpInstructions` and top up via `/x402/top-up`
`402 INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE` (Bearer)	DIEM + USD + bundled credits are all empty; top up at venice.ai

Security hygiene

Bearer keys behave like passwords — store in a secret manager, rotate on compromise, scope via consumptionLimits.
SIWX requires a private key signer on the client side. For browsers, use a wallet provider (MetaMask or WalletConnect on EVM, Phantom or a wallet-standard adapter on Solana) — do not ship raw private keys.
Signed headers are valid 5 minutes from issuedAt; rotate every ~4 minutes. Never reuse a signed SIGN-IN-WITH-X header across hours or across machines. Nonces are tracked per wallet for ~5.5 min; replaying one is rejected with X402_SIGN_IN_NONCE_REUSED.
Rate limits are per-key (Bearer) or per-wallet (x402). See venice-api-keys and venice-errors.

# Venice Authentication

Every Venice endpoint accepts **one of two** auth schemes, declared in the OpenAPI spec as `BearerAuth` and `siwx`. Both are first-class — pick whichever fits the deployment.

## Use when

- You're making your first call to `api.venice.ai`.
- You're building a server-side integration (usually Bearer) or an agent / no-account wallet flow (x402).
- You hit `401 Authentication failed` and need to check header format.
- You're implementing SIWE signing manually instead of using the SDK.

## Option A — Bearer API key

```http
Authorization: Bearer <VENICE_API_KEY>
```

- Create keys at <https://venice.ai/settings/api> or via [`venice-api-keys`](../venice-api-keys/SKILL.md).
- Keys carry `consumptionLimits` (USD and/or DIEM caps) and `apiKeyType` (`ADMIN` or `INFERENCE`).
- Billing draws from DIEM (staked), USD balance, and bundled credits in order.
- Key types determine which endpoints are reachable — only `ADMIN` keys can manage other keys.

```bash
curl https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VENICE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "zai-org-glm-5-1",
    "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"hello"}]
  }'
```

Use the Bearer scheme when you have a Venice account, want usage analytics (`/billing/usage-analytics`), want to issue scoped child keys, or need DIEM / bundled credit priority.

## Option B — x402 wallet (SIWX)

Authenticate with an Ethereum wallet on Base or a Solana wallet on Solana mainnet. No account needed. Pay per request in USDC. Balance lives under your wallet address and is consumed automatically.

### Header

```http
SIGN-IN-WITH-X: <base64(json)>
```

`SIGN-IN-WITH-X` is the canonical x402 v2 header name. Venice's original
`X-Sign-In-With-X` is still accepted for backwards compatibility, so existing
integrations keep working, but new code should send the canonical name.

Where the decoded JSON is:

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| `address` | EVM (checksummed hex) or Solana (base58) wallet address. |
| `message` | The signed SIWX message. EVM uses EIP-4361 SIWE; Solana uses the Solana SIWX format. Optional if you send the structured fields instead (see below). |
| `signature` | EVM signatures are hex. Solana signatures may be base58 or base64. |
| `timestamp` | Unix ms. Venice-legacy field. Canonical SIWX relies on the signed `Issued At` instead, and Venice only cross-checks `timestamp` when you send it. |
| `chainId` | `8453`, `"8453"`, or `"eip155:8453"` for Base. `"solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp"` for Solana. |
| `type` | Optional signature type. `"ed25519"` for Solana. Omitted means EVM / EIP-191. |

```json
{
  "address":   "0x... (checksummed)",
  "message":   "<SIWE message string from SiweMessage.prepareMessage()>",
  "signature": "0x... (hex)",
  "timestamp": 1712659200000,
  "chainId":   8453
}
```

You may also omit `message` and send the structured SIWX fields (`domain`,
`address`, `uri`, `version`, `nonce`, `issuedAt`, `expirationTime`, `notBefore`,
`statement`, `resources`, `chainId`, `type`). Venice rebuilds the exact message
bytes server-side and verifies the signature over them. The rebuilt `Chain ID`
line uses the **bare reference** (`8453`, `5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp`),
not the CAIP-2 form, so sign the bare value.

### SIWE message fields (EIP-4361, EVM)

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| `domain` | One of the allow-listed Venice domains: `venice.ai`, `api.venice.ai`, `outerface.venice.ai`, `preview.venice.ai`, `staging.venice.ai` (plus `localhost` in dev). The server's own generated challenge uses `api.venice.ai`. |
| `uri` | Matching `https://<domain>` URL. |
| `version` | `"1"` |
| `address` | the wallet's checksummed address |
| `statement` | `"Sign in to Venice AI"` (what the server's generated challenge uses — any string is accepted, this one keeps consent UX consistent). |
| `nonce` | random 16-char hex, single-use per wallet |
| `issuedAt` / `expirationTime` | ISO-8601. Server enforces a hard **5-minute** window from `issuedAt` (`expirationTime` is informational only). |
| `chainId` | `8453` — accepted as number (`8453`), numeric string (`"8453"`), or CAIP-2 (`"eip155:8453"`). |

The header is short-lived — generate a fresh one at most every ~4 minutes (server accepts up to 5 min from `issuedAt`). When you send the legacy `timestamp` field it must be within **30 seconds** of the signed `issuedAt`; omit it and only `issuedAt` is checked. `issuedAt` must not be more than 30 seconds ahead of server time (`X402_SIGN_IN_FUTURE_TIMESTAMP`). Nonces are single-use per wallet — reuse within ~5.5 minutes is rejected with `X402_SIGN_IN_NONCE_REUSED`.

Domain is validated against the allow-list above — **not** against the incoming request's `Host` header. Passing any allow-listed domain (e.g. `api.venice.ai`) is fine regardless of which Venice host you hit.

### Solana message fields

Solana wallets sign the Solana SIWX message with Ed25519. The message opens with
`<domain> wants you to sign in with your Solana account:`, then the base58
address, then the same `URI`, `Version`, `Chain ID`, `Nonce`, `Issued At`, and
optional `Expiration Time` lines as the EVM form:

```
api.venice.ai wants you to sign in with your Solana account:
7xKX...base58...

Sign in to Venice AI

URI: https://api.venice.ai
Version: 1
Chain ID: 5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp
Nonce: 3f2a91c4d80b7e15
Issued At: 2026-07-28T19:00:00.000Z
Expiration Time: 2026-07-28T19:05:00.000Z
```

In the base64 payload set `type: "ed25519"` and
`chainId: "solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp"`. The `Chain ID` line inside
the signed message carries the bare reference without the `solana:` prefix. The
same 5-minute window, 30-second skew, and single-use nonce rules apply.

### Manual signing (TypeScript)

```ts
import { Wallet } from 'ethers'
import { SiweMessage } from 'siwe'

const wallet = new Wallet(process.env.WALLET_KEY!)

function makeSiwxHeader() {
  const msg = new SiweMessage({
    domain: 'api.venice.ai',
    address: wallet.address,
    statement: 'Sign in to Venice AI',
    uri: 'https://api.venice.ai',
    version: '1',
    chainId: 8453,
    nonce: crypto.randomUUID().replace(/-/g, '').slice(0, 16),
    issuedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
    expirationTime: new Date(Date.now() + 4 * 60_000).toISOString(),
  })
  const message = msg.prepareMessage()
  const signature = wallet.signMessageSync(message)
  return btoa(JSON.stringify({
    address: wallet.address,
    message,
    signature,
    timestamp: Date.now(),
    chainId: 8453,
  }))
}

const res = await fetch('https://api.venice.ai/api/v1/chat/completions', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'SIGN-IN-WITH-X': makeSiwxHeader(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    model: 'zai-org-glm-5-1',
    messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'hello' }],
  }),
})
```

### SDK shortcut

```bash
npm install venice-x402-client
```

```ts
import { VeniceClient } from 'venice-x402-client'

const venice = new VeniceClient(process.env.WALLET_KEY!)

await venice.topUp(10)            // $10 USDC on Base (first time only)
const res = await venice.chat({
  model: 'zai-org-glm-5-1',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
})
console.log(res.choices[0].message.content)
```

`VeniceClient` and `createAuthFetch` handle SIWE signing, header rotation, and `402` top-up prompts automatically.

### First-time top-up (wallet → credits)

```
POST /x402/top-up                # WITHOUT payment header → returns Base + Solana payment requirements
→ pick one entry from accepts[] and sign it with the x402 SDK (createPaymentHeader)
POST /x402/top-up                # WITH PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header → credits land on your wallet address
```

`PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` is the canonical x402 v2 payment header. The legacy
`X-402-Payment` and `X-PAYMENT` names are also accepted.

See [`venice-x402`](../venice-x402/SKILL.md) for the full flow.

## Choosing between the two
