To access protected endpoints, include your API token in the Authorization header as a bearer token.

​
Header format

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Use the root auth endpoint GET / to quickly validate a token.

​
Validate token

curl -X GET "https://api.osint.ly" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
Expected success response: 
{
  "message": "Authorization Valid",
  "help": "https://docs.osint.ly/api-reference/quick-start"
}

​
Security Best Practices

  • Never commit API keys to git repositories
  • Store tokens in environment variables
  • Use separate keys for development and production
  • Rotate keys immediately after suspected exposure
If a token is exposed, revoke and replace it before any new deployment.
