Authentication
Create an API key and authenticate requests.
Create a key under API > API keys in the dashboard. Copy the secret when it is shown; it cannot be retrieved later.
Bearer token
Store the key in ELLIPSIS_API_TOKEN:
Shell
export ELLIPSIS_API_TOKEN="ellipsis_key_..."Send it on each request:
Shell
curl https://api.ellipsis.dev/v1/identity \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ELLIPSIS_API_TOKEN"The identity response identifies the account and credential. An API key acts for its account, with no individual user identity.
Permissions
An invalid or revoked token returns 401. A valid credential without access returns 403.
Account financial settings require an owner or organization administrator's user credential. API keys and sandbox credentials cannot change them.
Revoke a key from the dashboard when it is no longer needed. Keep keys on your server; do not embed them in browser code or committed configuration.
