Venice Authentication

Venice declares two auth schemes in its OpenAPI spec: BearerAuth (API key) and siwx (x402 wallet). Inference endpoints accept either; account endpoints need a key; discovery endpoints need nothing.

Use when

• You're making your first call to api.venice.ai.
• You're building a server-side integration (usually Bearer) or an agent / no-account wallet flow (x402).
• You hit 401 / 402 and need to check header format.
• You're implementing SIWE / Solana signing manually instead of using the SDK.
