Authentication

The Core API uses Bearer token authentication.

API tokens are generated through the Core web interface and must be included in the Authorization header of every request.


Important

  • Tokens are displayed only once when created
  • Each token is associated with a specific user account
  • Tokens inherit the permissions assigned to that user

Store your token securely immediately after generation, as it cannot be viewed again later.
