Authorisation
Learn how to authenticate with the Antei API using Bearer tokens.
To access the Antei API, all requests must be authenticated using an API key. We use Bearer Token authentication, which is passed via the Authorization
header.
Creating an API Key
You can generate API keys from your Antei dashboard:
Settings → Integrations → Create API Key
There are two types of keys available:
- Live Key – Use for real transactions in production
- Sandbox Key – Use for testing in a non-production environment
Treat your API keys like passwords. Never expose them in public codebases or client-side code.
Base URLs
Environment | Base URL |

Live | https://api.antei.com |
Sandbox | https://sandbox.antei.com |
Authorization Header
Add the following header to every API request:
Make sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY
with your actual key.
Error Handling
If your API key is missing or invalid, the API will return a:
- 401 Unauthorized – when the token is missing or incorrect
- 403 Forbidden – if the key doesn’t have permission for the requested resource
Ensure you’re using the correct environment-specific key and that the scopes are valid.
