# API Introduction
> Welcome to the Chariow API Reference
The Chariow API is a RESTful API that allows you to programmatically interact with your store. You can use it to retrieve products, manage customers, process sales, validate licenses, and more.
## Base URL
All API requests should be made to:
```
https://api.chariow.com/v1
```
## Authentication
The API uses Bearer token authentication. Include your API key in the `Authorization` header:
```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_api_key
```
Generate API keys in your store dashboard
## Request Format
* All requests should include `Content-Type: application/json` header for POST/PUT requests
* Request bodies should be JSON encoded
* Query parameters should be URL encoded
## Response Format
All responses follow a consistent JSON structure:
```json theme={null}
{
"message": "success",
"data": {
// Response data
},
"errors": []
}
```
### Pagination
List endpoints use cursor-based pagination:
```json theme={null}
{
"data": {
"data": [...],
"pagination": {
"next_cursor": "eyJpZCI6NTB9",
"prev_cursor": null,
"has_more": true
}
}
}
```
Use the `cursor` query parameter to navigate pages:
```
GET /v1/products?cursor=eyJpZCI6NTB9&per_page=20
```
