Authentication
Learn about authentication methods and security features in Kalpesh Vasava Documentation
Secure your documentation with robust authentication options. We support multiple methods to fit your security requirements and workflow.
Generate API keys for programmatic access. Keys provide full access to your account, so store them securely.
Generate Key
Go to Settings > API Keys and click "Generate New Key".
Set Permissions
Choose read-only or full access permissions.
Store Securely
Save the key in an environment variable or secure vault.
Use OAuth 2.0 for third-party integrations. Supports popular providers like Google and GitHub.
JSON Web Tokens for session management. Tokens expire automatically for enhanced security.
Never share API keys in public repositories or client-side code.
Best Practices
Follow these security guidelines to protect your documentation.
Use HTTPS
Always use HTTPS for API calls to encrypt data in transit.
Rotate Keys
Regularly rotate API keys and revoke unused ones.
Monitor Usage
Check API usage logs for suspicious activity.
Enable 2FA
Add two-factor authentication for account protection.
Code Examples
Implement authentication in your applications.
// Authenticate with API key
const authenticate = async (apiKey) => {
const response = await fetch('/api/auth/verify', {
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}` }
});
if (response.ok) {
console.log('Authentication successful');
} else {
console.error('Invalid API key');
}
};
def authenticate(api_key):
headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'}
response = requests.get('/api/auth/verify', headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
print('Authentication successful')
else:
print('Invalid API key')
Use environment variables to store sensitive authentication data.
