Authentication and Security

🚧

After 18th August 2024, this page would permanently be moved to a new location. You can access this page from a new URL which is present here. If you have saved or bookmarked the current URL, kindly update it with the new URL, since there will be no 301 redirect from the current URL to the new URL.

The Nightfall API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can create and view your API keys in the Nightfall app on the Manage API Keys page.

Your API keys carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure. Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, or anywhere else that would compromise their secrecy. If you believe one of your API Keys has been compromised, you should delete it through the Dashboard.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS.

Calls made over plain HTTP will fail.

API requests without authentication will fail.
