Authentication

The Whaly API uses Service Account Secret Keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your Secret keys in your Whaly settings panel.

Secret keys have the prefix sk . In order to grant proper access control to your Secret Keys, you should manage the roles and sharings of the attached Service Account.

Your Secret keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authentication to the API is performed via HTTP Bearer Auth. Provide your Secret key as the Bearer value in your Authorization header.

Example of curl option would be -H "Authorization: Bearer sk:4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc"

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
