Authentication
Just Serp API uses API keys to authenticate requests. Your API keys are managed through the user dashboard.
Using Your API Key ​
All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Authentication is handled by passing your API key in the X-API-Key custom HTTP header.
Header Format ​
| Header | Value |
|---|---|
X-API-Key | YOUR_SECRET_API_KEY |
Example with curl ​
bash
curl -X GET "https://api.justserpapi.com/api/v1/google/search?query=coffee" \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"Managing API Keys ​
In your dashboard, you can:
- Create Multiple Keys: Generate different keys for different projects or environments (e.g., Development, Production).
- Label Keys: Give your keys descriptive names to keep track of their usage.
- Revoke Keys: If a key is compromised, you can instantly revoke it and create a new one.
Security
Your API keys carry significant privileges. Keep them secret! Do not share them in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, or online forums.
Key Scopes ​
By default, all API keys have full access to all endpoints you are subscribed to. Ensure you monitor your usage regularly through the dashboard to detect any unauthorized activity.
