You need two keys to use Bridger.

Bridger API Key

For calling the Bridger Gateway. Issued from the admin dashboard.

data.go.kr service key

To use public data, you need to apply for API access on data.go.kr (often approved instantly).

​
Issue a Bridger API Key

1

Open the admin dashboard

Create an account at admin.datari.kr. Google / Kakao social login is supported.
2

Create an API key

Click Settings → API Keys → Create new key and it’s issued instantly.
3

Store the key securely

The issued key is shown only once. Store it in an environment variable or a secret manager (e.g. Vault).

​
Apply for a data.go.kr service key

Many of the public-data APIs that Bridger calls require a Public Data Portal (data.go.kr) service key. A single service key can often be reused across multiple APIs from the same provider.
1

Sign up at data.go.kr

Register on the sign-up page. Skip this step if you already have an account.
2

Click "Apply" on the API you want

Press the Apply button for the API you want, from the Provider Keys screen in admin.datari.kr or on data.go.kr.
You can keep the purpose of use brief. (e.g. “Data lookup for an AI service”)
3

Copy the service key after approval

Most APIs are approved instantly. After approval, copy the general key (Decoding) from My Page → Usage management.
Always use the Decoding key. The Encoding key (URL-encoded form) is not used by Bridger.
4

Enter the key in Bridger

Enter the copied service key under Settings → Provider Keys in the Bridger admin dashboard and you can start using it. A single service key can often be used across multiple APIs from the same provider.

​
Frequently asked questions

Most are auto-approved instantly, but some APIs require provider review. They’re usually approved within 1–3 days.
Use the general key (Decoding). The Encoding key is URL-encoded, and Bridger only uses the Decoding key.
Any API with an OpenAPI spec can be registered directly via BYOAPI. (coming soon) If you’d like your API added as a public preset, contact us at support@datari.kr or via Channel Talk.
