Desmos Authentication

Authentication

The Desmos API authenticates with a single API key supplied as a URL query parameter on the calculator.js script include. There is no OAuth, no bearer token, and no server-side credential exchange — the key gates which calculator products load client-side. Production keys are issued at desmos.com/my-api; a public demo key ships in the documentation for development (see sandbox/desmos-sandbox.yml).

Desmos secures its APIs with apiKey across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions.

      Required to load the API. The Graphing Calculator loads by default; the
      Four-Function, Scientific, and Geometry calculators must be separately
      enabled per API key. Obtain a production key at https://www.desmos.com/my-api.
