Authentication

Every Dev API request must include an x-api-key header.

Header contract

http
GET /dev/project
x-api-key: wp_your_api_key_here

Missing or invalid keys return 401.

Key checks order

  1. Key exists and is valid
  2. Key is active
  3. Monthly quota not exceeded

If all pass, endpoint-level project scoping checks run next.

Scoping behavior

A valid key from project A cannot fetch project B content. Mismatches return 403.

Public frontend usage

Using this key client-side is supported for read-only use cases. If you prefer not to expose it in browser requests, proxy from your own server.
