PeelAPI uses API keys to authenticate requests. All requests must include a valid Bearer token in the Authorization header.

​
Getting your API key

  1. Sign in to your Developer Dashboard
  2. Navigate to API Keys
  3. Click Create API Key
  4. Copy the generated key (starts with sk_live_v1...)
Your API key carries all privileges for your account. Never share it publicly or commit it to version control. If a key is compromised, delete it immediately from the dashboard.

​
Making authenticated requests

Include your API key in the Authorization header with the Bearer scheme: 
curl https://api.peelapi.com/v1/endpoint \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_v1_your_key_here"

​
Authentication errors

​
Missing or invalid token

If your API key is missing or invalid, you’ll receive a 401 Unauthorized response: 
{
  "data": null,
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
      "message": "Invalid or missing Bearer token"
    }
  ]
}
Common causes:
  • Forgot to include the Authorization header
  • Typo in the API key
  • Using a revoked or deleted key
  • Missing Bearer prefix

​
Managing API keys

All API key management happens through your Developer Dashboard. You can create and delete keys at any time. Go to your Developer Dashboard to:
  • Create new API keys - Generate additional keys for different projects or environments
  • View existing keys - See all your active API keys
  • Delete keys - Permanently revoke keys that are no longer needed
