Authenticate API requests with API keys

API keys let external systems read your organization’s published documents without requiring a logged-in user session. Pass your key as a Bearer token in every API request.

API keys are scoped to your organization. Any system that holds a key can read the same data as an authenticated member. Treat keys like passwords. Don’t commit them to source control or share them publicly.

Create an API key

Open API Keys settings

Go to Settings → API Keys.

Enter a name

Type a descriptive name for the key so you can identify it later (for example, zapier-integration or n8n-prod).

Copy the key

Click Create. DocInject shows the raw key value exactly once. Copy it to a secure location. You cannot retrieve it again after closing this dialog.

Use an API key

Include the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of every request:

curl https://api.docinject.com/{org_slug}/inbox \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.docinject.com/{org_slug}/inbox",
  {
    headers: {
      Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    },
  }
);
const entries = await response.json();

import httpx

response = httpx.get(
    "https://api.docinject.com/{org_slug}/inbox",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
entries = response.json()

Delete an API key

Go to Settings → API Keys, find the key you want to remove, and click Delete. Deletion takes effect immediately. Any requests using that key will receive a 401 Unauthorized response.

Deleting a key cannot be undone. If an active integration is using the key, it will stop working immediately. Create a replacement key before deleting the old one.
