API Authentication
Welcome to our API services! To ensure secure and efficient access to our API, we require the inclusion of an X-API-Key in the HTTP header of each request. This key serves as a crucial element for authentication, allowing us to verify and process your requests effectively. Here's what you need to know to get started:
What is the X-API-Key?
The X-API-Key is a unique identifier assigned to your account. It acts as a credential, similar to a password, granting you access to our API services. This key ensures that your interactions with our API are secure and authorized.
How to Generate an API Key
Generating an API key is a straightforward process that allows you to access and interact with our services securely. Follow these steps to create your own API key:
Create an Account
If you haven't already, sign up for an account with us.
Generate the API Key
Once logged in, navigate to the API section and generate your unique X-API-Key.
Keep it Secure
Treat your API key like a sensitive password—store it securely and never share it publicly.
Important Notes
- Security: Always keep your API key confidential to prevent unauthorized access.
- Regenerate if Compromised: If you believe your API key has been compromised, regenerate it immediately through your account.
- Compliance: Ensure all API calls comply with our usage policies and guidelines.
