Authentication
IdenticAPI uses API key authentication via the Authorization header.
API key format
Keys use the format:
idapi_test_... (development) idapi_live_... (production)Request header
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEYSecurity practices
- Never expose API keys in client-side code or public repositories
- Use development keys for testing, production keys for live traffic
- Rotate keys by creating a new key and revoking the old one
- Keys are shown only once at creation — store them securely
Legacy RapidAPI endpoints
Legacy utility APIs (sentiment, IBAN validator, etc.) continue to use RapidAPI authentication with X-RapidAPI-Key headers. See individual API pages for details.
