API Key

API Key authentication is a secure and simple way to access the Instantuploader API. By generating an API key, you can access your data without having to go through a complex authentication process.

Generating an API Key.

To generate an API key, you need:

Log in to your account on https://app.instantuploader.com.
Navigate to the "/apiKeys" page (https://app.instantuploader.com/settings/apiKeys).
Click on the "Add API Key" button.
A new API key block will be displayed on the page, which contains the API key and several icons for regenerating the key, copying it to the clipboard, and revealing it (if it's hidden).
It's recommended that you select a user on behalf of which this key will work.

To use your API key:

GET /account HTTP/1.1
Host: api.instantuploader.com
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>

const https = require('https');

const options = {
  hostname: 'api.instantuploader.com',
  path: '/account',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer <your-api-key>',
  }
};

const req = https.request(options, res => {
  console.log(`statusCode: ${res.statusCode}`);
  res.on('data', d => {
    process.stdout.write(d);
  });
});

req.on('error', error => {
  console.error(error);
});

req.end();

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.instantuploader.com/account');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>'
));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response;

If you want more functionality and a more secure way, you will have to consider other options like JWT authentication.
