Authentication
The Inkie API uses API key authentication. Every request must include your key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
Create an API key
- Sign in to Inkie.
- Go to Settings → API keys.
- Click Create API key, give it a name, and copy the key.
Copy it now — you won't be able to see the key again after leaving the page. If you lose it, revoke it and create a new one.
Use the key
Pass your key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header on every request:
curl https://app.inkie.ink/api/platforms \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"Key scope
API keys are scoped to your account. They can read and write all content for the clients your account has access to. There is no per-resource or read-only scope in v1.
Errors
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
401 | Missing or invalid API key. |
403 | Valid key but you don't have access to the requested resource. |
Key rotation
To rotate a key, go to Settings → API keys, revoke the existing key, and create a new one. Update your integrations before revoking — revocation is immediate.
MCP authentication
The MCP endpoint at /api/mcp uses the same Bearer token. See MCP integration for client configuration.
