Authentication

API Key Authentication

Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token:

Log in to your LEXOH dashboard and navigate to Settings → API Keys to generate your authentication token. Keep your API key secure and never expose it in client-side code.

Example Request

Here's an example of an authenticated API request using cURL:

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

Response Format

Successful authentication will return the requested data. Failed authentication returns a 401 Unauthorized status code:

{
  "error": "Unauthorized",
  "message": "Invalid or missing API key"
}

• Never commit API keys to version control
• Use environment variables to store API keys
• Rotate API keys regularly
• Use different API keys for development and production
• Revoke compromised keys immediately

Rate Limiting

API requests are rate-limited to ensure fair usage and system stability. Rate limits are per API key:
