Authentication

Daakey uses different authentication methods for each API.

Client API

The Client API uses two authentication layers:

1. Bearer Token (Sanctum)

After login, include the token in all requests:

Authorization: Bearer {token}

2. Agency Signature

All Client API requests require an agency signature:

X-Agency-Signature: {base64_payload}.{hmac_hash}

See Agency Signature for details.

Dashboard API

The Dashboard API uses Bearer tokens only:

Authorization: Bearer {token}

Tokens are obtained via the Login endpoint.
