This totally solves something I don't want to have to build at this stage! I hacked together a garbage API key system that has nothing to do with my platform's core competencies.

Your offering is so full of useful functionality, too. Reports, metering, ... so much good. I could totally see this becoming a Twilio or Stripe for APIs.

Really, really awesome. Congrats! I'll be looking to sign up soon.

Edit: my platform is built in Rust and I don't expect you to have an SDK for that anytime soon (I'm off the beaten path). I'll see what your API looks like :)

Hey, glad to hear it!

You're actually not the first person who's asked for a Rust SDK. This is something that is already in our plans for the near future.

In the meantime, all of Kable can be accessed via HTTPS REST endpoints. I wouldn't recommend using Kable for authentication over REST due to the potential latency issues it could cause for your API. But all of our functionality around pricing, metering, billing, and invoicing can be accessed directly, even without a Rust library.

Check out our documentation for a closer look at the REST API. Would be happy to chat some more over email to help you get started until our Rust library is available.
