Authentication

Create, use and revoke API keys.

#Creating a key

Create keys at Account → API keys. The full key is shown exactly once, right after creation — copy it somewhere safe. SankeyKit only ever stores a hash of the key, so support can't look it up or show it to you again; if you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.

#Using a key

Send it as a bearer token on every request:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_YOUR_KEY

#Revoking a key

Revoke a key from the same API keys page. Revocation takes effect immediately.

#Plan requirement

API access requires a paid plan. If your account's API quota is 0 (Free plan), every request — even with a valid key — returns:

{
	"error": "api_not_included",
	"message": "API access requires a paid plan",
	"upgrade_url": "https://sankeykit.com/account/billing"
}

with HTTP status 403. See Errors for possible responses.
