Authentication

Explains authenticating with Score's API.

The Score API uses API keys to authenticate requests.

An API key carries privileges of an administrator so keep them secure! Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authenticating your requests

We require your API key to be provided in the Authorization header uses the Bearer authentication scheme.

Here's an example using a curl request:

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" ...

You will receive a response with 401 if this is not configured correctly. Look at Errors & Rate Limits to understand more about the possible errors from our API.
