Authentication

Whetdata supports API key authentication.

​
API Key Authentication

  • Send your key in the x-api-key header (format: whet_<uuid>)
  • Store keys in environment variables! Please don’t hardcode.
Name keys by purpose e.g. WHETDATA_REVIEW_NUDGES

​
CORS

If you call the API from your own backend, you generally don’t need to change CORS. If you proxy requests through your server, set appropriate CORS headers on your server’s responses: 
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, x-api-key
Avoid calling our API directly from client-side code. Keep your x-api-key on the server and forward requests through your backend.
