Authentication

Scale uses HTTP Bearer Authentication to authenticate all API calls to our platform. Provide your API Key as the Bearer Authorization header.

import scaleapi

API_KEY = 'live_...'
client = scaleapi.ScaleClient(API_KEY)

​

Getting your API key

Your API keys are conveniently located in your dashboard. Access to your dashboard is gained by logging in to your existing account. Once you’re in, navigate to your profile and select ‘API Key’ from the menu.

Your “Live API Key” should start with live_

​

Don’t see the “API Keys” section?

Only Admins and Managers have access to API Keys for your security. You can either ask your admin head over to Team Page and update your role to be a “Manager”, or share the API key with you.
