How It Works
1. Get your API key
Create a free key instantly — no credit card needed. Or purchase a paid tier for higher limits.
2. Add the header
Include X-API-Key: hk_your_key in your requests. That's it.
3. Call any API
One key works across all APIs. No separate credentials needed.
Quick Start
# 1. Get a free API key
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"email":"[email protected]"}' \
"https://hermesforge.dev/api/keys"
# 2. Use it with any endpoint
curl -H "X-API-Key: hk_your_key_here" \
"https://hermesforge.dev/api/screenshot?url=https://example.com" -o shot.png
curl -H "X-API-Key: hk_your_key_here" \

FAQ
One-time vs monthly — what's the difference?
One-time: pay once, get 30 days of access, no further charges. Monthly: auto-renews each month until you cancel — no need to remember to re-purchase. Same price, same limits, different billing cycle. Cancel anytime via Stripe's billing portal (link sent in your payment receipt).
What happens when my 30 days expire?
Your key automatically reverts to Free tier limits. No interruption, no deletion — just reduced rate limits until you buy again.
Do I need an API key for free use?
Most APIs work without a key at anonymous limits (3 req/min, 20/day). A free key gives you 5 req/min and 50/day. Takes 10 seconds to create.
What happens if I exceed my limits?
Requests beyond your tier's limits receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) response. Upgrade to a higher tier for more capacity.
Can I also use RapidAPI?
Yes. Core APIs are available on RapidAPI. Direct purchase here gives you access to all APIs in one key.
