To interact with the Fernand API, you need to include your API key in every request. This is done by passing it in the X-Api-Key header. You can create and manage your keys directly from your Fernand dashboard under Integrations → API Key.

Managing keys

1

Go to Integrations

Navigate to Integrations in your workspace settings.
2

Access API Key settings

Click on Manage keys under the API Key integration card.
3

Create or copy your key

Create a new key if you don’t already have one, or copy an existing key.
4

Use your key

Include this key in the X-Api-Key header when making API calls.
Security best practices:
  • Keep your keys secret. Do not paste them into public repositories or client-side code.
  • Rotate your keys regularly for added security.
  • If you suspect a leak, revoke the key immediately from the dashboard.

​
Making a request

Once you have an API key, include it in the header of your request. Here are some examples: 
curl -H "X-Api-Key: sk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
