Authentication Method

API key authentication is implemented using the x-api-key header. This method provides a simple and secure way to authenticate your requests.

Include your API key in the request header as follows:

x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Getting Your API Key

curl -X GET "https://api.leadboxer.com/api/endpoint" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Never expose your API key in client-side code, public repositories, or version control
Store API keys in environment variables or secure configuration files
Use different API keys for development, staging, and production environments

Returned when the API key is missing, invalid, or expired.

{
  "error": "Unauthorized",
  "message": "Invalid or missing API key"
}

Solution: Verify that your API key is correct and included in the x-api-key header.

Navigate to your account settings to view active API key
