Authentication

The globalMOO API uses API keys for authentication. To access the API, you'll need to include your API key in the authorization header of each request.

API Keys

API keys should be included in the Authorization header of each request:

Authorization: Bearer your-api-key-here

SDK Authentication

Python

from globalmoo.client import Client
from globalmoo.credentials import Credentials

# Method 1: Using environment variables
client = Client()

# Method 2: Direct credentials
credentials = Credentials(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_uri="https://app.globalmoo.com/api/",
    validate_tls=True  # Defaults to True, required for globalmoo.ai domains
)
client = Client(credentials=credentials)

Node.js

PHP

Environment Variables

The SDKs support loading credentials from environment variables:

• GMOO_API_KEY: Your API key

• GMOO_API_URI: API base URI (defaults to https://app.globalmoo.com/api/)

TLS Validation

The SDKs validate TLS certificates by default for security. This is required when using official globalmoo.ai domains but can be disabled for testing:

Python

# For local testing with self-signed certificates
credentials = Credentials(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    base_uri="https://localhost:8443/",
    validate_tls=False
)

Node.js

PHP

Security Best Practices

1. Keep your API key secure and never share it

2. Use environment variables to store API keys

3. Rotate API keys periodically

4. Use different API keys for development and production
