Authenticate REST API Requests
Authenticate Wemblo server-side API requests using the method documented in the live API reference.
Overview
Use the exact authentication method shown in the current Wemblo API reference. A common documented pattern may use an Authorization header with a Bearer key. Never invent endpoint paths or authentication fields.
REQUEST CHECKLIST
- HTTPS endpoint.
- Correct Authorization and Accept or Content-Type headers.
- Valid workspace and resource IDs.
- International +92 phone format for Pakistan examples.
- Required fields and stable external IDs.
- Idempotency key where supported.
- Redacted request and response logging.
Who should use it
Authorized developers and technical workspace users.
Before you begin
- Use a server-side integration environment.
- Create separate test and production credentials.
- Use HTTPS and least privilege.
- Never expose a key or webhook secret in client-side code.
