Authentication

Authenticate every SEO Boost Hub API request using scoped API keys and Bearer tokens.

API Keys

Generate API keys from your dashboard under Settings → API Keys. Each key is tied to your organization and can be scoped with specific permissions.

Generating API Keys Navigate to your dashboard, open Settings → API Keys, and click Create New Key. Assign a descriptive name and select the appropriate scope.

Bearer Token Authentication

Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token on every request.

Authorization: Bearer sbh_live_abc123def456ghi789

Example Authenticated Request

Here is a complete authenticated request example:

curl -X GET https://api.seoboosthub.com/v1/locations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sbh_live_abc123def456ghi789" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Token Scopes

API keys can be assigned one of three permission scopes:

Scope	Learn how to authenticate your API requests.	Access
`read`	read	GET
`write`	write	GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE
`admin`	admin	Full access to all resources and settings

Security Best Practices

All API requests are served over HTTPS only
Rotate API keys periodically and revoke unused keys
Store keys in environment variables, never in source code
Use the minimum scope required for your integration
