Authentication

The SKYEWORX API uses Bearer token authentication. Generate an API key from your dashboard under Settings → API Keys. Pass the key in the Authorization header on every request.

Keep your API key secret. Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories. Rotate keys immediately if compromised via Settings → API Keys → Revoke.
