# Authentication To access the Nodefy API, you'll need a valid API key. ### How to Obtain Your API Key To request an API key, please contact our team at . We'll work with you to understand your specific use case and provide you with an API key. ### Using Your API Key Once you receive your API key, include it in the `Authorization` header of each request you make to the Nodefy API. Use the Bearer authentication scheme: ```http Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY ``` #### Example (cURL): ```bash curl -X GET 'https://api.nodefy.xyz/api/v1/webhooks/' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' ``` ### Important Considerations * **Never share your API key publicly.** Treat your API key as a confidential password. * **Security:** We recommend using HTTPS to protect your API key during transmission. Additionally, consider storing your API key in an environment variable or secure configuration file rather than directly in your code. ### Error Handling If your API key is invalid or missing, you will receive a `401 Unauthorized` error response: ```json { "error": "Unauthorized", "message": "Invalid or missing API key" } ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
