Authenticate with the API

Every request to the REST or gRPC API requires an API key and a base URL, both from the same provisioned environment.

Before you begin

Replace $SIFT_API_KEY and $SIFT_REST_BASE_URL with your actual values, then run:

curl -H "authorization: Bearer $SIFT_API_KEY" $SIFT_REST_BASE_URL/api/v1/ping

Replace $SIFT_API_KEY, $SIFT_GRPC_BASE_URL, and $PORT_NUM with your actual values, then run:

grpcurl -H "authorization: Bearer $SIFT_API_KEY" $SIFT_GRPC_BASE_URL:$PORT_NUM sift.ping.v1.PingService/Ping

Base URL format: Do not include https:// in the base URL, use only the hostname. $PORT_NUM is always 443.

Rate limits: Sift enforces rate limits per organization and per endpoint, for both REST and gRPC.
