API authentication

Keys start with dgk_live_ followed by 40 base62 characters. Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEEPBAL_KEY. The gateway also accepts x-api-key.

export KEEPBAL_API_KEY="dgk_live_YOUR_KEY_HERE"

Create a key in Console → API keys and save the full value when shown. To rotate, create a replacement, update your server environment and verify it, then revoke the old key in Console. Revoked keys cannot be used again.

Never put keys in browser code, public repositories or shared screenshots. Keep project configuration containing literal credentials private. Use separate keys for separate applications.
