Authentication documentation for SBMG - Small Business Messenger
Obtaining an API Key
To access our API, you need to obtain an API key from our web portal. The API key acts as a secure identifier for your application and allows you to authenticate and authorize your requests.
To obtain an API key, please follow these steps:
- Visit our web portal and sign in to your account or create a new account if you haven’t already.
- Navigate to the “API Keys” section within “Settings” of your portal.
- Click on the “Generate New API Key” button to create a new API key.
- Make sure to securely store the API key, as it will be required to authenticate your API requests.
Authenticating API Requests
Once you have obtained your API key, you need to include it in the header of each API request you make. This ensures that your requests are properly authenticated and authorized by our system.
To authenticate your API requests, include the following header:
Replace YOUR_API_KEY
with the API key you obtained from our web portal.
Please note that failing to provide the API key or providing an invalid API key will result in authentication errors, and your requests will be rejected.
