Authentication

Authentication Overview

The Braid API uses Basic Authentication, which requires clients to include a username and password with each request. In our API, the password field should contain the API key displayed in the dashboard under the "API Key" section.

Most programming libraries have built-in support for Basic Authentication, so you can use your preferred library’s Basic Auth module, which will handle the encoding and header formatting automatically.

Note: Even though the dashboard label reads "API Key," use this value as the password in Basic Authentication requests. This setup ensures secure access to the Braid API while allowing ease of use with standard libraries.
