We take security very seriously at Meshy, and we work hard to ensure that Meshy API is secure. We hope your data and your users' data is safe with us. Here are some high-level guidelines to help you keep your data and requests safe when using Meshy API, but please also make sure to follow the guidelines practiced at your team or workplace.

Transport Layer Security

While your data is encrypted at rest once it's stored in Meshy, Meshy API uses and enforces TLS, to encrypt data in transit. It means that all requests to and from Meshy API are sent over HTTPS, and any request made over HTTP will get an 301 Moved Permanently status code. Although not recommended, in some cases, if you have to talk to HTTP, you need to explicity tell your HTTP client to follow HTTP to HTTPS redirections. Here are some examples:

Follow HTTP to HTTPS redirections

# use `-L` to follow HTTP to HTTPS redirections
curl -L -X 'POST' \
  http://api.meshy.ai/v1/text-to-texture

API Key Safety

Please note that even Meshy team members cannot view or recover revoked API keys for you!

Once minted, API keys are not visible in the dashboard anymore, so please download and keep it safe and securely since anyone who obtains it can use it to talk to Meshy API on your behalf. If you believe your API key has been compromised, you can revoke it at any time from the dashboard, once revoked, it will no longer be valid.

Security Disclosure

If you believe you've discovered a security issue in Meshy API, please get in touch with us. We appreciate your responsible disclosure and will make every effort to acknowledge your contributions.

Rate Limiting

Meshy API is rate limited to prevent abuse that could degrade the service quality for other users. The rate limit is applied to each IP address, and the default rate limit is 20 requests per second. If you need a higher rate limit quota, please get in touch with us.

Storage

Please note that any models generated through our API will only be retained for a maximum of 3 days. After this period, the models will be automatically deleted from our servers. We kindly ask for your understanding and recommend downloading and storing your models locally if you need them for a longer duration.
