API Authentication

# API Authentication

The EaseBG API uses Bearer token authentication with API keys.

## Generating an API Key

1. Go to Settings > API Keys

2. Click Create New Key

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

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

## Using Your API Key

Include the key in the Authorization header:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
     -F "[email protected]" \
     https://api.easebg.com/v1/tasks

## Security Best Practices

- Never expose your API key in client-side code

- Use environment variables to store keys

- Rotate keys periodically

- Use different keys for different environments

## Rate Limits

Each plan has different rate limits. Check the API documentation for details.
