Authentication

Authentication Methods

PropTechUSA supports two authentication methods:

API Keys - For server-to-server communication

OAuth 2.0 - For user-facing applications

API Key Authentication

Include your API key in the Authorization header:

curl https://api.proptechusa.ai/v1/leads \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Or using the SDK:

const client = new PropTech({
  apiKey: 'pk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
});

API Key Types

Type	Prefix	Use Case

Live	pk_live_	Production environment
Test	pk_test_	Development/testing

Generating API Keys

Log in to your PropTechUSA Dashboard

Navigate to Settings → API Keys

Click "Generate New Key"

Copy and securely store your key

⚠️ Important: API keys are shown only once. Store them securely.

OAuth 2.0 (Coming Soon)

OAuth 2.0 support is coming soon for applications that need user-level authentication.

Security Best Practices

• Never expose API keys in client-side code
• Use environment variables for all keys
• Implement IP allowlisting for production
• Rotate keys if you suspect compromise
• Use test keys during development
