API Keys

API keys allow external systems to authenticate with the LeadSail API without requiring a user session.

Creating an API Key

1. Navigate to Settings in the sidebar
2. Go to the API Keys section
3. Click Generate API Key
4. Copy the key — it will only be shown once

Using an API Key

Include the key in the X-API-Key header of your HTTP requests:

curl -X GET https://api.leadsail.app/api/v1/campaigns \
  -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key"

Security Best Practices

• Store API keys securely — never commit them to source control
• Rotate keys periodically
• Use separate keys for different integrations so you can revoke individually
• Monitor the activity log for unexpected API usage
