Authentication
To ensure the security and integrity of your data, our APIs require authentication using an API key. This authentication mechanism allows us to verify your identity and control access to the APIs.
Obtaining an API Key
To request an API key, please contact us at contact@blendnow.com.
Including the API Key in Requests
Once you have obtained your API key, you need to include it in your API requests using the X-API-Key
header. This header serves as a means of authentication and authorization, ensuring that only authorized users can access the APIs.
To include the API key in your requests, follow these steps:
- Set the
X-API-Key
header in your HTTP request. - Assign the value of your API key to the header, e.g.,
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
.
Here's an example of how you can include the API key in a cURL command:
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" https://daas.blend-api.com/v1/design/image-upload
Securing and Protecting Your API Key
The API key acts as a confidential authentication token, granting access to your account and associated resources. It's crucial to keep your API key secure and avoid sharing it publicly or exposing it in client-side code. Treat your API key as sensitive information, similar to a password or any other confidential credentials.
If you suspect that your API key has been compromised or believe there is unauthorized access, we recommend informing us immediately. We will invalidate it and get you a new one as soon as possible.
Conclusion
By authenticating your requests using the provided API key, you can securely access the BlendIt Studios' Enterprise API suite. Follow the guidelines mentioned above to include the API key in your requests and maintain the confidentiality and integrity of your data.
