Authentication

ObservIQ uses Bearer token authentication. Every API request must include your API key in the Authorization header.

Getting Your API Key

Register at observ-iq.netlify.app/signup (opens in a new tab)
Your API key is shown once after registration — copy it immediately
Keys follow the format: oiq_ followed by 64 hex characters

Using Your API Key

curl https://your-backend.railway.app/teams/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer oiq_your_key_here"

import requests
 
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer oiq_your_key_here"}
response = requests.get("https://your-backend.railway.app/teams/me", headers=headers)
print(response.json())

⚠️

Never expose your API key in client-side code. Always use it server-side or via the Python SDK.
