  description: >-
    All requests to the Ginkgo AI Model API authenticate with a per-account API
    key passed in the `x-api-key` request header. Keys are issued (with usage
    credits) from the models portal at https://models.ginkgobioworks.ai/ and
    have the form xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx. The official Python client
    reads the key from the GINKGOAI_API_KEY environment variable when not passed
    explicitly.
