This guide provides an overview of the authentication methods available for accessing our API. We offer various authentication options to ensure secure and controlled access to our services.
Supported Authentication Methods
- API Key: A unique identifier assigned to your account. Use this key in your API requests to authenticate your identity.
- OAuth 2.0: A protocol for authorizing third-party access to HTTP services, often used for APIs. It allows users to grant limited access to their accounts.
How to Obtain an API Key
To obtain an API key, please visit the API Keys Management section of our developer portal. Follow the instructions to create and manage your API keys.
Usage Example
Here's an example of how to use an API key in a GET request:
GET /api/resource HTTP/1.1
Host: api.example.com
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>
Security Best Practices
- Keep your API key secret and do not share it with unauthorized users.
- Regularly rotate your API keys to reduce the risk of compromise.
- Use HTTPS to encrypt your API requests and ensure secure communication.
