Authentication

The Transcript LOL API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can manage your API keys from your dashboard.

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign up for a free account at Transcript LOL
2. Navigate to the Integrations page
3. Create a new API key

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the x-api-key header with every request:

curl "https://transcript.lol/api/v1/me" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Security Best Practices

• Keep your API key secret - Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories
• Use environment variables - Store your API key in environment variables rather than hardcoding it
• Rotate keys regularly - Create new API keys periodically and revoke old ones
• Use separate keys - Use different API keys for development and production environments

Rate Limiting

API requests are rate limited to ensure fair usage. If you exceed the rate limit, you will receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. Wait a few seconds before retrying.

Verifying Your API Key

You can verify your API key is working by making a request to the Get User endpoint:

curl "https://transcript.lol/api/v1/me" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
 
# Expected response:
{
  "id": "user_123",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  ...
}
