Authentication & API Keys
How to generate, rotate, and securely transmit API keys when making requests to the Kommify API.
The Kommify API authenticates all client requests using Bearer tokens passed in the HTTP `Authorization` header.
### API Key Types
- **Live Keys (`km_live_...`)**: Used in production environments. Messages dispatched with live keys incur standard billing and reach real handsets.
- **Test / Sandbox Keys (`km_test_...`)**: Used during development and CI testing. Requests are validated and simulated delivery receipts are generated without sending carrier traffic.
### Best Practices
- Never commit secret API keys into client-side code or public version control.
- Store keys in environment variables or cloud secret managers (e.g. AWS Secrets Manager, Doppler, Vault).
- Rotate compromised keys immediately via the Kommify Security Console.
