Authenticating your calls to SafetyKit

The SafetyKit API utilizes API keys for authentication. You can find your keys on your designated API Keys page.

Keep your API key confidential! Avoid sharing it or including it in any code on the client-side (such as browsers, apps). Production requests need to be channeled through your backend server, where your API key can be safely retrieved from an environment variable or a key management service.

Each API request must include your API key in an Authorization HTTP header as follows:

'Authorization': 'Bearer <api_key>'
