Authentication

Learn how to authenticate your API requests with PolyTest.

Bearer Token

All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header. You can create API keys from your dashboard.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer pt_live_your_key" \

Key Scopes

API keys can be scoped to specific permissions: markets:read, snapshots:read, and orderbook:read. A key can only access the resources its scopes allow.

Key Rotation

We recommend rotating keys every 90 days. You can have multiple active keys simultaneously, making zero-downtime rotation straightforward.
