Authenticating API Requests
The HelpDocs API has a flexible authentication scheme.
You can choose to provide your API key as an HTTP Bearer token, or pass it as a query parameter.
You must pass your token with every API request
For instance, using the popular Node.js request module, you could make a request using Bearer auth like this:
request.get('https://api.helpdocs.io/v1/category', {
'auth': {
'bearer': 'your-api-key'
}
});Or you could make the same request with your key as the key query parameter:
request.get('https://api.helpdocs.io/v1/category?key=your-api-key');All requests to the API must be made via HTTPS to
https://api.helpdocs.io/v1. The API is not available through your custom domain or your *.helpdocs.io subdomain
