API Key Format

sk_live_example123456789

• sk_ = Secret Key prefix
• live_ = Live mode (production)
• Followed by 32+ random characters

​

Using Your API Key

curl https://api.baclique.com/v1/campaigns \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"

​

Security Best Practices

1. Never commit API keys to version control
2. Use environment variables to store keys
3. Rotate keys regularly if you suspect a leak
4. Use different keys for development and production
5. Limit exposure - only your backend should use the API key

​

Environment Variable Example

# .env file (never commit this!)
BACLIQUE_API_KEY=sk_live_your_key_here

// Node.js
const apiKey = process.env.BACLIQUE_API_KEY;

fetch('https://api.baclique.com/v1/campaigns', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
  }
});
