Authentication

The Currents API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys in the Currents Dashboard.

Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! An API key provides access to all the resources associated with an organization.

Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Managing the API Keys

Navigate to Organization > API & Record Keys section to manage your API keys.

Authenticating Requests

Authentication to the API is performed by specifying the Authorization HTTP header with a bearer authentication token, for example:

curl https://api.currents.dev/v1/projects \
-H "Authorization: Bearer 51ILO7fDhR8P...wC7oFLl7nEiDT"

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