Authentication and the Header

The following are the most common header values:

Header Values

Header	Values
X-API-Key	[a secret API key generated through User Management in Gotransverse billing platform]
Content-Type	application/json

Gotransverse microservices use an x-api-key in the request header for authentication. If using a tool like Postman, set the Authorization Type to No Auth, as the header provides authorization.

Content type in the header is almost always application/json. One exception is the Download invoice or usage request, where content type is application/pdf for an invoice and text/csv for a usage file.
