Authentication
How to authenticate with the API
The Moderation API uses API keys to authenticate requests. Each project has its own API key. You can view and manage your API keys in the dashboard -> Project -> Integrate.
Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure. Don’t share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.
Authentication to the API is performed with the Authorization header when making a HTTP request. Provide your API key prefixed with Bearer as the value of the Authorization header.
You must make all API calls over HTTPS. Calls that you make over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
We recommend creating two projects in your dashboard, one for development and one for production. This way you can create tokens for both environments.
