Authentication Guide

We support multiple authentication methods:

• API Key Authentication
• Bearer Token
• OAuth 2.0 for more complex scenarios

API key authentication is the simplest method. Include your API key in the Authorization header of each request:

Authorization: Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY

This method is suitable for server-to-server communications where you can securely store your API key.

For more secure applications, use bearer token authentication:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

Tokens have configurable expiration times and can be revoked if compromised.

For applications that need to access user data or perform actions on behalf of users, use OAuth 2.0:

1. Register your application in the Developer Portal
2. Implement the OAuth 2.0 flow to obtain access tokens
3. Include the token in your API requests

• Never expose authentication credentials in client-side code
• Implement proper token rotation and expiration handling
• Use the principle of least privilege when assigning permissions
• Regularly audit and rotate your API keys
