API Authentication
Secure API authentication ensures that only authorized applications can access your chatbot automation platform. Every API request must include valid authentication credentials.
Getting Started
Before making API requests, you need an active account and a valid API key. API authentication helps protect your data and prevents unauthorized access to your workspace.
Authentication Method
Our API uses API Key authentication. Include your API key in the request header for every API call.

Best Practices
