Authentication
Every API request uses a Bearer token. Keep live keys for production traffic, test keys for integration work, and rotate credentials from the developer dashboard when ownership changes.
Use for production jobs, customer workflows, and any billing-impacting traffic.
Use for local development, CI, previews, and sandbox experimentation.
Create focused keys by environment and workload instead of sharing one credential everywhere.
Header format
Authorization: Bearer sc_live_your_api_key_here
Key-management guidance
Rotate keys when teammates change, secrets appear in logs, or you split a shared workload into separate services.
The dashboard shows key prefixes, last-used timestamps, environments, and activation state so you can audit access without exposing full credentials.
