Authentication

The Verts API supports two authentication methods depending on your use case.

API keys are the recommended authentication method for server-to-server integrations. They provide secure, long-lived access to the API.

Creating an API Key​

  1. Log in to your Verts Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  3. Click Create API Key
  4. Give your key a descriptive name
  5. Copy and securely store the key (it won't be shown again)

Using API Keys​

Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token:

curl https://api.verts.dev/v1/account \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer verts_key_xxx..."

API Key Best Practices​

  • Never expose keys in client-side code - API keys should only be used server-side
  • Use separate keys for different environments - Create distinct keys for development, staging, and production
  • Rotate keys periodically - Delete old keys and create new ones regularly
  • Set descriptive names - Make it easy to identify which key is used where

Managing API Keys​

You can manage your API keys through the Verts Dashboard:

  1. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  2. View all your active API keys
  3. Create new keys or delete existing ones

Security Considerations​

Rate Limiting​

API endpoints are rate-limited to ensure fair usage. See Rate Limiting for details.

Revoking Access​

Delete API keys from the dashboard when they are no longer needed or may have been compromised.
