Authentication

All API requests must include a valid API key.

Creating an API Key

Go to Settings > API Keys in your dashboard
Click Generate New Key
Copy the key immediately — it’s only shown once
Store it securely (environment variable, secrets manager)

Using Your Key

Include the key in the Authorization header of every request:


curl https://rentalot.ai/api/v1/properties \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ra_live_abc123..."

Key Prefixes

ra_live_ — production keys
ra_test_ — test keys (if applicable)

Revoking Keys

Revoke any key from Settings > API Keys. Revocation is immediate — any requests using that key will return 401 Unauthorized.

Security

Never commit API keys to version control
Use environment variables to store keys
Rotate keys periodically
Each key is scoped to your account — it can only access your properties and data
