Authentication

To use the FeedBoss API, you'll need to authenticate your requests using a Service API Key. This key identifies your application and authorizes it to act on your workspace's behalf.

Getting Your API Key​

  1. Navigate to your Workspace Settings in the FeedBoss dashboard.
  2. Go to the Service API Keys tab (or section).
  3. Click Create New Key.
  4. Give your key a descriptive name (e.g., "Production App").
  5. Copy the key immediately. It will not be shown again.

Using the API Key​

Include the API key in the x-api-key header of your HTTP requests.

x-api-key: fb_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[!IMPORTANT] Keep your API keys secure. Do not share them in public repositories or client-side code (like browsers). If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately from the Settings page.

Key Management​

You can manage your keys from the Settings page:

  • Create: Generate new keys for different applications or environments.
  • Rename: Update the name of a key to keep track of its usage.
  • Revoke: Permanently disable a key if it's no longer needed or compromised.
