Authentication

​

Get credentials

1. Open the console: Open the Bailian console and log in with your Alibaba Cloud account.
2. Get API Key: Obtain DASHSCOPE_API_KEY from the console, starting with sk-. See Get API Key.
   API keys have account-level permissions. Store them securely and never commit to code repositories.

​

Usage

export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY="sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

curl --location 'https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/api/v2/apps/memory/add' \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $DASHSCOPE_API_KEY" \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "user_id": "user_001",
    "custom_content": "The user prefers concise technical examples."
  }'

​

Permissions

• Alibaba Cloud primary account: can call all endpoints directly
• RAM sub-accounts: require appropriate permissions
• API Key scope is configured in the console

​

Security best practices

• Never in repos: use environment variables
• Per-app keys: use separate keys for each app
• Rotate regularly: change keys periodically
