API Keys
All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
Authorization: Bearer wrb_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Creating an API key
- Log in to the WhatsRB Dashboard
- Navigate to Settings → API Keys
- Click Create API Key
- Copy and store the key securely — it won’t be shown again
All API keys start with the wrb_live_ prefix.
Never commit API keys to source control. Use environment variables instead.
