Using API Keys

Include the key in the X-API-Key header:

curl -X POST https://api.example.com/api/signals/ingest \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '...'

Security Best Practices

• Never share API keys or commit them to source control
• Use environment variables to store keys
• Create separate keys for different integrations
• Regularly rotate keys
• Use minimum required scopes
