Welcome to our API Authentication Documentation! Here you will find detailed information about how to authenticate with our API services.

Authentication Methods

Our API supports several authentication methods to ensure secure access to your data. Below are the commonly used methods:

  • API Key: Use a unique API key provided to you during the registration process.
  • OAuth 2.0: Implement OAuth 2.0 for more granular access control.
  • JWT Tokens: Use JSON Web Tokens for stateless authentication.

Steps for Authentication

  1. Obtain API Key: First, obtain your API key from your account settings.
  2. Set Headers: Include the API key in the headers of your request.
  3. Send Request: Make your API request as usual.
  4. Check Response: Ensure the response includes a success status.

Example Request

GET /api/data HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.com
Authorization: Bearer your_api_key

Security Best Practices

  • Keep Your API Key Secure: Never expose your API key to unauthorized users.
  • Use HTTPS: Always use HTTPS to encrypt your data in transit.
  • Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse.
