Authentication

Learn how to authenticate with our API.

API Key Authentication

The simplest way to authenticate is using your API key:

const api = require("our-api");

api.init({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
});

OAuth Authentication

For more advanced scenarios, you can use OAuth:

const api = require("our-api");

api.authenticate({
  clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
  clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
  redirectUri: "https://your-app.com/callback",
});

Best Practices

  • Never expose your API keys in client-side code
  • Rotate your API keys periodically
  • Use environment variables to store sensitive credentials
