Authentication

How to authenticate your requests to the Opacus API.

API Key

The standard way to authenticate is using an API Key generated from the Developer Console. Include it in the header of your requests:

Authorization: Bearer sk_test_...

Additionally, you can scope requests using X-Opacus-User-Email for specific application traces.

Token mint/refresh flow

For more advanced wallet-based setups or temporary sessions, you use the Challenge/Register flow to mint short-lived tokens (session tokens). This is how our Bootstrap flow operates behind the scenes.
