Authentication

The Panelbear API uses Auth Tokens to authenticate requests. You can create and manage them directly from the Panelbear Dashboard, under Settings > Auth Tokens.

Your Auth Tokens are sensitive information, you should keep them secure! Whoever holds the token secret can access your account and act on your behalf. If you believe a token has been compromised, we recommend you immediately rotate or delete it from the Auth Token Settings page.

To use a token to make authenticated requests to our API, simply include the Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> header on the HTTP request. For example:

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" \
       -H "Content-type: application/json" \
       "https://api.panelbear.com/v1/sites"

All API requests must be made over HTTPS, must include a valid auth token, and set the content type to application/json, otherwise the request might be rejected.
