Authentication

All API requests to Jabrod require authentication using an API key.

Getting an API Key

Navigate to API Keys

Click on your profile > API Keys

Create a new key

Click Create Key, give it a name, and copy the key

Your API key is only shown once. Store it securely!

import { JabrodClient } from 'jabrod';

const jabrod = new JabrodClient({
  apiKey: 'jb_your_api_key_here'
});

Include your API key in the Authorization header:

curl -X GET "https://cloud.jabrod.com/api/kb" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer jb_your_api_key_here"

Jabrod API keys follow this format:

Prefix	Description
`jb_`	Standard API key

Never expose keys in client-side code

API keys should only be used in server-side code. Never include them in frontend JavaScript.

Use environment variables

Store API keys in environment variables, not in your codebase.

Rotate keys regularly

Periodically create new keys and revoke old ones.

Use separate keys for environments

Use different API keys for development, staging, and production.
