Step 1 — Create an account

Go to ostdb.net and register a free account.

​
Step 2 — Find your User ID

  1. Log in to your account
  2. Click on your profile avatar in the top right corner
  3. Go to Manage Profile → Developer
  4. Copy your User ID — it looks like user_2abc123xyz
Your User ID is your Clerk identity. It’s used to link your API key to your account.

​
Step 3 — Request your API key

Send a POST request to the keys endpoint with your User ID: 
curl -X POST https://api.ostdb.net/v1/keys \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"userId": "user_2abc123xyz"}'
You’ll receive a response like this: 
{
  "key": "your_api_key_here",
  "keyId": "key_xxx",
  "ratelimit": {
    "limit": 100,
    "duration": "60 seconds"
  }
}
Save your API key immediately — it’s shown only once and cannot be retrieved again.
