Welcome to the API Authentication section of our Documentation. Here, you will find detailed information on how to authenticate with our APIs to ensure secure and authorized access.
Authentication Methods
We offer several methods to authenticate your requests to our APIs:
API Key: A simple and widely used method to authenticate your requests. Obtain your API key from your account dashboard.
OAuth 2.0: A more secure method that allows third-party applications to access resources on behalf of a user. Learn more about OAuth 2.0 here.
Bearer Token: A token-based authentication method that provides a more flexible and secure way to authenticate your requests.
Setting Up API Authentication
Generate API Key: Log in to your account dashboard and navigate to the API Settings section to generate an API key.
Configure OAuth 2.0: If you are using OAuth 2.0, configure the authorization server with the necessary credentials and scopes.
Implement Bearer Token: For token-based authentication, implement the necessary logic in your application to obtain and include the bearer token in your API requests.
Security Best Practices
Keep Your API Key Secret: Never expose your API key in public repositories or client-side code.
Use HTTPS: Always use HTTPS to encrypt your API requests and protect sensitive data.
Regularly Rotate API Keys: Rotate your API keys regularly to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
