The Chariow API uses API keys to authenticate requests.

​
Creating an API Key

1

Log in to Dashboard

Go to app.chariow.com and log in to your account.
2

Navigate to Settings

Click on Settings in the sidebar.
3

Open API Keys

Select API Keys from the settings menu.
4

Create New Key

Click Create API Key, give it a descriptive name, and copy the generated key.
Copy your API key immediately after creation. For security reasons, the full key is only shown once.

​
Making Authenticated Requests

Include your API key in the Authorization header: 
curl -X GET "https://api.chariow.com/v1/store" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Security Best Practices

Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories.
  • Store keys in environment variables
  • Use different keys for development and production
  • Rotate keys periodically
  • Monitor key usage in your dashboard
