Authentication

The Reel25 API uses API keys to authenticate requests. All API requests must include your key in the Authorization header.

Getting your API key

API keys are secret credentials. Never share them in public repositories, client-side code, or browser requests. Treat them like passwords.

Include the key in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer reel25_sk_abc123..." \
  https://api.reel25.com/api/v1/videos

const response = await fetch('https://api.reel25.com/api/v1/videos', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer reel25_sk_abc123...',
  },
});

import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.reel25.com/api/v1/videos',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer reel25_sk_abc123...'}
)

All Reel25 API keys start with the prefix reel25_sk_ followed by a random string:

reel25_sk_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0...

Limit	Value
Max active keys per workspace	5
Key format	`reel25_sk_` + 43 characters

You can revoke a key at any time from the dashboard or via the API:

curl -X DELETE \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer reel25_sk_..." \
  https://api.reel25.com/api/v1/settings/api-keys/{keyId}

Revoked keys are immediately invalidated and cannot be restored. Create a new key if needed.
