Learn how to authenticate your API requests.

API Keys

All API requests require authentication using an API key. You can obtain your API key from your account dashboard.

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the request headers:

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  https://api.syntheticusers.com/api/v1/endpoint

Security Best Practices

Never commit API keys to version control
Rotate your keys periodically
Use environment variables to store keys
Restrict API key permissions when possible
