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 https://api.justserpapi.com/api/v1/google/search?query=query \
-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.
