Authentication - Stockly

Every request authenticates with an API key sent in the x-api-key header:

curl https://api.stockly.com/v1/users \
  -H "x-api-key: sk_stockly_your_key_here"

Your API key identifies your app. You never pass an app id, and you can only ever read or act on your own app’s users and rewards — another app’s data is invisible to you.

Treat your API key like a password. Keep it server-side, never embed it in client apps or commit it to source control. If a key is exposed, revoke it from the dashboard and mint a new one.
