Authentication

The Socialit API authenticates every request with a workspace API key. The key itself determines which workspace you’re acting on — there is no separate workspace header to send.

Create an API key

1. Sign in to the Socialit app.
2. Go to Settings → API keys.
3. Click Create key, give it a name, and copy the secret.

Caution

The full secret (sk_live_...) is shown only once, at creation time. Store it somewhere safe. If you lose it, revoke the key and create a new one.

API keys are admin-only to create and revoke, and each key is scoped to a single workspace.

Authenticate requests

Send the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

curl https://api.socialit.com/v1/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here"

If the header is missing or the key is invalid or revoked, the API responds with 401 Unauthorized:

{ "error": "Unauthorized" }

Key format

• Production keys start with sk_live_.
• Test/non-production keys start with sk_test_.

Treat keys like passwords: never commit them to source control or expose them in client-side code.
