Authentication

All API requests require authentication using an API key.

Getting an API Key

1. Sign in to your Refyne Dashboard
2. Navigate to API Keys (or use the link above)
3. Click Create New Key
4. Copy your key - it will only be shown once

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header:

curl -X POST https://api.refyne.uk/api/v1/extract \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rf_your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... }'

API Key Scopes

API keys can have different scopes:

Security Best Practices

• Never commit API keys to version control
• Use environment variables to store keys
• Rotate keys periodically
• Use the minimum required scopes

Rate Limits

Rate limits depend on your subscription tier. See Plans & Limits for full details.

When you exceed a rate limit, the API returns HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) with details about the limit and when you can retry.
