Authorizations

​
x-api-key
string
header
required

API Key authentication for programmatic access.

How to use:

  1. Create an API key from your dashboard settings
  2. Include the key in the x-api-key header with each request
  3. API keys have granular permissions (domains, shortLinks, files, stats, apiKeys)

Example:

curl -H "x-api-key: your-api-key-here" https://api.h0p.co/short-link/list

Types of API keys:

  • User keys: Linked to your user account (one per organization)
  • Bot keys: Autonomous machine users (one per organization)

Security notes:

  • Keep your API keys secure and never commit them to version control
  • API keys cannot access authentication endpoints (/auth/*)
  • Keys can be revoked at any time from the dashboard
