Authentication
All authentication is performed via HTTP Basic Auth via the X-API-Key
header.
Follow these steps to authenticate your requests:
Get your API key
Contact us at support@swipelux.com to request access to the platform.
We'll grant you a secret API key to use in your service. The API key should be kept secure and never exposed publicly. We recommend storing it as an environment variable or in a secure configuration management system.
Include the API key in requests
Add your API key to the X-API-Key
header in every request:
Always use HTTPS, as we will reject all API requests over plain HTTP. No additional authentication (like passwords) is required.
Error handling
If authentication fails, you'll receive a 401 - Unauthorized
HTTP status code. This happens when:
- No API key is provided
- An invalid API key is used
