Authentication

How to authenticate pkgplane API requests, the rate limits, and the status codes authentication can return.

Updated

Send an API key in the Authorization header:

GET /api/me HTTP/1.1
Host: pkgplane.richaisolutions.com
Authorization: Bearer pkp_9f86d081…

The API base URL is https://pkgplane.richaisolutions.com/api. Requests from the website use the session cookie instead, and need no header.

API keys

Property Value
Format pkp_ and 64 lowercase hex characters, 68 characters in all
Header Authorization: Bearer <key>, scheme case-insensitive
Rate limit 120 requests per 60 seconds, per key
Keys per account 25
Expiry 1 to 365 days, or never; set at creation
Statuses active, disabled, expired. Only active keys authenticate

A request that has an Authorization header is judged on its key alone, even if it also carries a session cookie. A request with a malformed or unknown key fails. It doesn’t fall back to the session.

Which credential an endpoint accepts

Accepts Endpoints
Nothing (public) GET /api/health
A session or an API key GET /api/me
A session only /api/api-keys/*
An admin’s session only /api/invitations/*, except accepting an invite

Endpoints lists every endpoint.

Status codes

Status Meaning What to do
401 Unauthorized No credential; the key is malformed, unknown, disabled or expired; its owner is banned; or the endpoint needs a session and got a key Check the key, or create a new one
403 Forbidden Signed in, but not allowed: not an admin, or acting as another user Use an account with access
429 Too Many Requests The key went over 120 requests a minute Wait for the seconds in Retry-After (60), then retry

The response body follows the error format:

{ "error": { "message": "Unauthorized" } }
