Use a Nova developer key with the standard Authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer $NOVA_API_KEY

​
API Keys

Use test keys for development and live keys for production.
KeyPurpose
nv_test_...Development, staging, and docs playground testing
nv_live_...Production traffic

​
Public User Context

When an endpoint needs user context, pass the public wallet address: 
{
  "walletAddress": "9xQeWvG816bUx9EPfQ5D9b8fRGyJitf8F6f4fH6QJjAo"
}
That keeps the playground easy to understand and safe to expose.

​
Rate Limits

Nova uses layered rate limits:
  • Per API key
  • Per endpoint
  • Per IP for docs playground traffic
  • Per monthly plan
  • Per high-cost capability, such as wallet trade history or Nyomi responses
If a request is limited, Nova returns 429 with retry guidance.

​
Key Safety

Keep live keys on your backend. For public demo playgrounds, use restricted keys with domain limits, smaller quotas, and no high-cost endpoints.
