Get Your API Key

  1. Visit Legnext Dashboard
  2. Log in to your account
  3. Navigate to API Keys section
  4. Create a new API key
  5. Copy and save it securely

Using Your API Key

​
Method 1: Direct Initialization

import org.openapitools.client.ApiClient;
import org.openapitools.client.Configuration;
import org.openapitools.client.api.ImageApi;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ApiClient apiClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
        apiClient.setBasePath("https://api.legnext.ai");

        ImageApi imageApi = new ImageApi(apiClient);

        String apiKey = "your-api-key-here";
        // Use apiKey as parameter in method calls
    }
}
Set the environment variable: 
# macOS/Linux
export LEGNEXT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Windows CMD
set LEGNEXT_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

# Windows PowerShell
$env:LEGNEXT_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
Then in your code: 
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ApiClient apiClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
        apiClient.setBasePath("https://api.legnext.ai");

        String apiKey = System.getenv("LEGNEXT_API_KEY");

        ImageApi imageApi = new ImageApi(apiClient);
        // Use apiKey as parameter in method calls
    }
}

​
Method 3: Properties File

Create a config.properties file: 
legnext.api.key=your-api-key-here
legnext.api.baseurl=https://api.legnext.ai
Load it in your code: 
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.util.Properties;
import org.openapitools.client.ApiClient;
import org.openapitools.client.Configuration;
import org.openapitools.client.api.ImageApi;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.load(new FileInputStream("config.properties"));

        ApiClient apiClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
        apiClient.setBasePath(props.getProperty("legnext.api.baseurl"));

        String apiKey = props.getProperty("legnext.api.key");

        ImageApi imageApi = new ImageApi(apiClient);
        // Use apiKey as parameter in method calls
    }
}

Security Best Practices

⚠️ Never hardcode API keys in your code ✅ Always use environment variables or configuration files ✅ Add configuration files to .gitignore ✅ Rotate keys regularly and revoke compromised ones
