API key

Every API request requires your Squid ID API key in the Authorization header. Keys start with sqid_.
Squid ID keys are read-only and scoped to one website. They can read that website’s identified visitor details, and nothing else. See API keys for how to disable or revoke a key.

​
Getting a key

1

Open the API keys settings

In your Squid ID dashboard, go to Settings → API keys. Switch to the website you want the key for using the header switcher.
2

Create a key

Click New key, name it, and copy it. The key is shown only once, so store it somewhere safe.

​
Example request

Treat API keys like passwords. Do not commit them to source control or expose them in client-side code. If a key leaks, revoke it in Settings → API keys and create a new one.
