Create a custom provider

Create a custom provider. Use PATCH /api/providers/{provider_id}/ to update an existing provider.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer

Use your Respan API key for Respan API authentication. Enter only the Respan API key value; clients send Authorization: Bearer <RESPAN_API_KEY>. For /api/responses, OpenAI or Azure OpenAI provider credentials go in Settings -> Providers or the request body credential_override field, not in this auth field.

OR
AuthorizationBearer

Use a dashboard JWT only for dashboard-authenticated endpoints. Respan API-key endpoints use the respanApiKey auth field instead.
