Basic Key Based Authentication

We support API key-based authentication, which is recommended if you're building applications to integrate with AutoTek.

Do you need a key? Contact your sales rep or contact to request one to start developing.

Key Types

Secret API Key

A secret API key is for use on the server side and is not to be shared with the front end.

Example Key: sec_23hcfb8374bfhc833i4uhx

Public API Key

A public API key is for use on your website to call the API. These keys are limited to your domain and are safe to share publicly.

Example Key: pub_3ficuhb34u8fnxu34h9fm

Authenticating Requests

When making requests to the APIs, include the key in your request.

Authorization: ApiKey {your API key}

Other Authentication Methods

We also support OAuth, you can read more about this authentication mechanism here.
