To interact with the Onboard Connect API, clients must authenticate using either an x-auth-token or, in some cases, an API key.

Authentication steps

  1. Obtain credentials: Retrieve your API key from the Business Dashboard after completing the onboarding process. See the Getting started guide for instructions.
  2. Include authentication details: Depending on the endpoint, add either of the following to your API requests:
    • x-auth-token: Required in the request header for authentication.
    • API key: Some endpoints require the public API key to be included as a query parameter to identify your integration.

Unauthorized Requests: Endpoints that require authentication will return a 401 Unauthorized status code for missing or invalid credentials.
