      How to authenticate with the API

      Steps to authenticate API requests Authentication is required to securely access and use the Signit API. Here’s how to authenticate your requests:

      1. Generate an API key:

        • Log in to your Signit account with admin or developer access.
        • Navigate to Settings > API Integration and click Create API Key.
        • Name your key, set its permissions, and save it securely.

      2. Add the API key to your request:

        • Include the API key in the Authorization header of every request.
        • Format:
          plaintext
          Copy code
          Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

      3. Test the authentication:

        • Use tools like Postman or curl to test your authentication.
        • Send a GET request to a simple endpoint, such as /status, to verify that your API key works.

      Note: Ensure the API key is kept confidential and regularly rotated for security.
