Authentication
To make requests to the Friendly Captcha API you need to prove who you are. You do this by passing an API key in a header.
caution
API Keys are secret, please treat them the same way you would handle any other password in your organization.
X-API-Key Header
With every request from your server, you should pass the following header:
| Header Name | Header Value |
|---|---|
X-API-Key | Your API Key (A1...) |
Creating API Keys
You can create API keys in the Friendly Captcha Dashboard.
Some notes
- API keys can be used to verify captcha respones for all sitekeys in your account.
- There is no cost to creating more API keys.
- The API key can only be viewed when it is first created, make sure to copy it somewhere safe. If you lose your API key, you should create a new one.
