All API endpoints require authentication via a Bearer token in the Authorization header. API keys are prefixed with lasso_.
Creating an API key
Generate API keys from the Lasso dashboard. Navigate to Settings > API Keys and click Create API Key.
API keys are shown only once at creation time. Store them securely. If you lose a key, deactivate it and create a new one.
Using your API key
Include the key in the Authorization header of every request.
curl -X GET "https://hub.banditshq.com/api/v1/tables" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer lasso_your_api_key_here"
| Property | Value |
|---|
| Prefix | lasso_ |
| Length | 70 characters |
| Example | lasso_a1b2c3d4e5f6... |
Security best practices
- Store API keys in environment variables, not in source code.
- Use a separate key per environment (development, staging, production).
- Rotate keys periodically and deactivate unused ones.
- Keys are scoped to a single company. All resources accessed through a key belong to that company.
Error responses
If authentication fails, the API returns a 401 status code.
