API Key Authentication

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"

const response = await fetch(
  `https://api.timelockdata.com/api/v1/evidences/${companyId}/category`,
  {
    headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'your-api-key' }
  }
);
const categories = await response.json();

​

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
