API Authentication

Authenticate requests to the Cafora Host API.

All API requests to Cafora Host require authentication via API key.

API Key Header

Include your API key in the Authorization header of every request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Creating API Keys

See API Keys for instructions on creating and managing API credentials.

Security Best Practices

Never expose API keys in client-side code or public repositories
Store API keys in environment variables or secure secret management
Use separate keys for development and production
Rotate keys periodically
Revoke keys that are no longer in use

# Example: Store API key as environment variable
export CAFORA_API_KEY=your-api-key-here

API keys grant full access to your servers. Treat them like passwords. If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately and generate a new one.
