API Authentication

All programmatic requests to the Elept API must contain a valid API key in the authorization header. Elept hashes these keys in the database using sha256 to ensure maximum protection.

The Authorization Header

To authenticate, pass your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer el_live_8f3d0a2f9c8e7b6d5c4b3a21

Authentication Error Response

If your API key is invalid, revoked, or expired, the API will return a 401 Unauthorized response in standard JSON format:

{
  "error": true,
  "code": "unauthorized",
  "message": "Invalid API key."
}

Code Examples

curl -X GET https://elept.com/api/v1/usage \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

fetch('https://elept.com/api/v1/usage', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
})
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
