# Authentication

> How to authenticate with the MediAPI

## API Keys

All API requests require an API key. Include it in the `X-API-Key` header:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.ringbee.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "X-API-Key: mk_live_abc123..."
```

Or use the `Authorization: Bearer` header:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.ringbee.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer mk_live_abc123..."
```

## Getting a key

1. Sign up at [app.ringbee.dev](https://app.ringbee.dev)
2. Go to the dashboard
3. Click **Create API Key**
4. Copy the key — it's only shown once

## Key security

* API keys are hashed (SHA-256) before storage — we never store the raw key
* Revoke compromised keys immediately from the dashboard
* Use separate keys for development and production
* Never commit keys to source control
