TimeLockData API uses API Key authentication for all requests.

​
API Key Authentication

Include your API key in the X-API-Key header with every request. 
X-API-Key: your_api_key_here

​
Getting Your API Key

  1. Log in to the TimeLockData Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Administration > Source Systems
  3. Create a new source system to generate an API key
  4. Copy the key and store it securely

​
Example

curl -X GET "https://api.timelockdata.com/api/v1/evidences/{COMPANY_ID}/category" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key"

​
Security Best Practices

  • Store API keys in environment variables, never in source code
  • Use HTTPS for all requests
  • Rotate API keys periodically
  • Use different keys for development and production
