Authentication

Learn how to authenticate your requests to the WaDoot API using API Keys.

Overview

The WaDoot API uses API Keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API Key in the Developer settings of your WaDoot Dashboard.

Authentication is performed by including the X-API-KEY header in your HTTP requests.

API Key Format

WaDoot API Keys follow a self-identifying format to ensure high-performance lookups:

Example API Key

sk_live_clm0j1u8v0000...random_secret

Your API Key carries many privileges, so be sure to keep it secure! Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Usage Example

curl -X GET https://api.wadoot.com/v1/contacts/by-phone/+919876543210 \
  -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
