API Authentication

Airbag Sync protects every endpoint with unique API keys. These keys are issued to authorized organizations and allow us to trace any integration.

How to obtain your API key​

  1. Contact an Airbag Tech support agent through your usual business channel.
  2. Share your project information and the email addresses of the people responsible for safeguarding the key.
  3. You will receive the API key securely — store it in your secrets manager or environment variables.

Using the key in requests​

Always include the Authorization: apikey {API_KEY} header in every call. For operations with a JSON body, add Content-Type: application/json as well.

curl --location 'https://sync.airbagtech.io/health' \
  --header 'Authorization: apikey ${API_KEY}'

Security recommendations​

  • Rotate API keys periodically and revoke any you no longer use.
  • Never share the key over unencrypted channels or commit it to public repositories.
  • Use separate environments (development, staging, production) to minimize risk, and monitor usage through internal logs.
