Authentication

Learn how BSOS API requests are authenticated.

1

Use an API Key

Every request must include a valid BSOS API Key.

2

Send the Authorization header

Pass the API Key using the Authorization header with the Bearer format.

3

Keep keys server-side

Never expose BSOS API Keys in browser code, mobile apps or public repositories.

4

Handle unauthorized requests

Invalid, expired or disabled keys return an authentication error.

Next step

Continue with API Keys to understand how keys are created, rotated and disabled.
