Overview
The process of authenticating with the Roboflow platform to enable model deployment and serverless inference.
Description
Roboflow authentication establishes a connection to the Roboflow platform using an API key. This key can be provided directly or read from the ROBOFLOW_API_KEY environment variable. Authentication is required for deploying models and accessing the Roboflow inference API.
Usage
Set up authentication before deploying a model to Roboflow or running inference through the Roboflow platform.
Theoretical Basis
API key authentication provides a simple credential-based access control mechanism. The key identifies the user and grants access to their workspace resources (projects, versions, models).
