Authentication

Learn how to authenticate with the Anysite API

Overview

Anysite uses API key authentication to secure access to all endpoints. You'll need to include your API key in the request headers for all API calls.

Getting Your API Key

Create Account

Visit [anysite.io](https://app.anysite.io/register) and create your account

Generate API Key

Navigate to your account settings and generate a new API key

Secure Storage

Store your API key securely and never expose it in client-side code

Authentication Methods

Access Token Header (Required)

Include your API key in the access-token header:

curl -X GET "https://api.anysite.io/token/statistic" \
  -H "access-token: YOUR_API_KEY"

The Anysite API does not use Bearer token authentication. Always use the access-token header.

Rate Limits

API requests are subject to rate limiting to ensure fair usage:

Rate limits vary by endpoint and subscription plan. Check your dashboard for current limits.

Error Responses

When authentication fails, you'll receive one of these responses:

Invalid or missing API key

API key doesn't have permission for this resource

Rate limit exceeded

Best Practices

• Store API keys as environment variables
• Use different API keys for different environments
• Rotate API keys regularly
• Monitor API usage in your dashboard
• Never commit API keys to version control

Testing Authentication

Test your authentication setup with this simple request:

curl -X GET "https://api.anysite.io/token/statistic" \
  -H "access-token: YOUR_API_KEY"

import requests

headers = {
    'access-token': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
}

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.anysite.io/token/statistic',
    headers=headers
)

print(response.json())

const response = await fetch('https://api.anysite.io/token/statistic', {
  headers: {
    'access-token': 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  }
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
