Ntanglenet API authentication


All API requests must include a valid API key or token. This page explains how to authenticate safely.

API keys

API keys are long-lived credentials. Use them for server-side or backend integrations only.

Create and rotate keys from the dashboard.

Scopes

Keys can be restricted by scope. Common scopes:

  • read — Read resources
  • write — Create and update resources
  • admin — Full access (use sparingly)

Best practices

  1. Never expose keys in client-side code — Use a backend to proxy requests.
  2. Rotate keys periodically — Especially if you suspect a leak.
  3. Use the minimum scope — Prefer read or write over admin when possible.
