Authentication

Using the API key you generated you can use it to authenticate with the API.

Authentication method

The API key you use to authenticate should be kept a secret and only be used on a server side not via the client. Exposing this key could cause bad things to happen.

Authentication method used is Bearer token.

Add the token in your request header

Authentication: Bearer <token>
