Authentication & API Keys

Secure your API integration with proper authentication.

API Key Types

  • Live Keys: For production use with real prescriptions
  • Sandbox Keys: For development and testing

Creating API Keys

  • Navigate to the Developer section of your portal
  • Select 'API Keys'
  • Click 'Generate New Key'
  • Set permissions and restrictions
  • Copy and securely store your key

Key Security

  • Never expose API keys in client-side code
  • Rotate keys periodically
  • Use environment variables for key storage
  • Set IP restrictions where possible

Revoking Keys

If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately from the API Keys page. Generate a new key and update your integration.
