# AI Music API FAQ

## Is this the official Udio API?

No. This is an independent third-party API service with its own endpoints, accounts, credits, terms, and support — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Udio.

## How do I authenticate requests?

Send your API key in the Authorization header as Bearer YOUR_API_KEY, kept in a server-side environment variable — never in browser source or public repositories.

## How does billing work?

The service uses its own credit system; balances and request logs are visible in the dashboard.

## Can I use generated music commercially?

Usage rights depend on the plan terms, the selected model, and your rights to prompts, lyrics, samples, or recordings; review the pricing page and terms.

## Where do I get an API key?

Sign up and create a key in the dashboard.
