Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Requests are authenticated with API keys. Provide your API key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

API keys are assigned permissions, granting them access to entities and operations. Each endpoint may require one or more permissions, defined with the x-permissions extension. Values for include parameters may require specific permissions as defined in the x-enum-permissions extension. See all available permissions in the permission schema or documentation.

Get an API key and select the permissions you need from the Paddle dashboard under Paddle > Developer Tools > Authentication.
