Authentication Modes

The --auth flag controls who can access your app while it’s running:
  • public (default): Anyone can call your app without authentication. You pay for all usage.
  • private: Only you (or your team) can call the app. Requires a valid API key.
By default, fal run uses public mode for easy testing during development.
