Typesense

Overview

Use Typesense credentials to make authenticated API calls through Alter Vault without exposing API keys in code.

Property	Value
Provider ID	typesense
Category	Search
Credential Type	API Key

Step 1: Get Credentials

Log in to Typesense Cloud

Log in to Typesense Cloud and open the cluster.

Generate a key

Open API Keys and generate a key — use a scoped search-only key when the integration only reads.

Copy the key

Copy the key — it is only shown once.

Warning

Never share credentials publicly. Store them securely and only enter them in the Alter Vault Developer Portal.

Step 2: Add to Alter Vault

Open the Developer Portal

Go to portal.alterauth.com and navigate to the application.

Add Typesense

Go to Managed Secrets > Add Provider > Typesense.

Enter credentials

Paste your API Key into the credential field.

Save

Click Save. You’ll receive a grant_id to use with the SDK.

Using in Code

response = await alter_app.request(
    HttpMethod.GET,
    "https://YOUR-CLUSTER.a1.typesense.net/collections/products/documents/search",
    grant_id="YOUR_GRANT_ID",
    query_params={"q": "running shoes", "query_by": "name,description"},
)

Notes

• The key is injected via the X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY header.
