Authentication

Learn how to authenticate with the LeadRoute API.

All API requests must be authenticated using an API key. Include your key in the Authorization header.

Getting your API key

Go to Settings → API
Click Generate API Key
Copy and store your key securely

Using your API key

curl https://leadroute.dev/api/v1/leads \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_abc123..."
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

API key types

Live keys (sk_live_) - Production use
Test keys (sk_test_) - Development/testing

Security best practices

Never expose API keys in client-side code
Use environment variables
Rotate keys periodically
Use test keys for development
