2. API Keys with Bagelml

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before you can use your API keys, install the following dependencies:

1. Axios: npm install axios

2. Node-Fetch: npm install node-fetch

3. Form Data: npm install form-data

4. UUID: npm install uuid

5. Buffer: npm install buffer

6. Bagelml: npm install bagelml

Step 2: Update Your API Configuration

After installing the necessary dependencies, update the api.js file located in node_modules > bageldb-beta > src > api. Replace its contents with the following code to create an API key:

async create_api_key(name, userId, apiKey = '') {
  const headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }

  try {
    const response = await fetch(this._api_url + '/api_keys', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers,
      body: JSON.stringify({ name, api_key: apiKey, userId })
    })

    const data = await response.json()

    if (response.status === 200) {
      console.log('API key created successfully and sent to user ID:', userId)
      return data
    } else {
      console.error(`Error creating API key: ${JSON.stringify(data)}`)
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating API key:', error)
  }
}

Step 3: Initiate the Function

You can now create an API key by running the following code in your project:

import { Settings, Client } from 'bageldb-beta';

// Settings configuration
const settings = new Settings({
  bagel_api_impl: 'rest',
  bagel_server_host: 'api.bageldb.ai',
});

const client = new Client(settings);

const userId = "insert userId";

const createApiKey = async (userId) => {
  try {
    const apiKeyDetail = await client.create_api_key("api-key1", userId);
    console.log(apiKeyDetail);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating API key:', error);
  }
};

createApiKey(userId);

Step 4: Handling the API Key Response

Upon successful creation, the method will return:

 (JS) % node apikey.js
API key created successfully and sent to user ID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
{ name: 'api-key1', api_key: 'abcdefghijklmopqrstuv' }
