Authentication

The Vatstack API requires a Public Key or a Secret Key to authenticate requests. API requests to any of the endpoints described here will fail without authentication.

You can view and manage your unique API keys in the dashboard.

Public Key or Secret Key in Headers

Pass your API key into the X-API-KEY header. Example for your request using a sample public key:

"X-API-KEY": "pk_live_6c46e7d65bc2caccdbf48f4a9c2fcba7"

Some endpoints require a secret key to protect your data from being spoofed or from being manipulated. Our documentation will always mention which of the keys you can use to perform a request.
