Authentication Guide

Configure secure authentication for your APIs

Zero-Config Credential Injection

Configure authentication credentials once in the StrikeUp dashboard. The platform automatically injects them into every API request—your users never see or handle credentials directly.

🔐 All credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit. They never leave our secure infrastructure.

OAuth 2.0

Best for APIs that require user-specific authorization. StrikeUp handles the complete OAuth flow, including token refresh.

Required Fields:

  • Client ID

  • Client Secret

  • Authorization URL

  • Token URL

  • Scopes (optional)

API Keys

Simple and effective for service-to-service authentication. Specify the header name and key value.

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_abc123xyz
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_abc123xyz
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_abc123xyz

JWT Tokens

For APIs using JSON Web Tokens. Configure token generation, expiration, and automatic refresh logic.

  • Token generation endpoint

  • Token lifetime and refresh strategy

  • Claims and payload structure

Custom Authentication

For proprietary authentication schemes. Define custom header names, request signing logic, and credential formats. Contact support for assistance with complex custom flows.
