Authentication

SaaSaFast uses API keys for authentication.

Getting an API Key

1. Go to **Settings > API Keys** in your dashboard

2. Click **Create API Key**

3. Give it a name (e.g., "Production Backend")

4. Copy the key immediately — it won't be shown again

Using the Key

Include the key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_abc123...

Key Types

  • **Live keys** (sk_live_...) — For production use
  • **Test keys** (sk_test_...) — For development, doesn't affect real data

    • Key Permissions

    When creating a key, you can scope permissions:

  • Read-only
  • Read/Write
  • Admin (full access)

    • Rotating Keys

    To rotate a key:

    1. Create a new key

    2. Update your applications

    3. Delete the old key

    There's no downtime — both keys work until you delete the old one.
