API Authentication

Salloq APIs are secured using token-based authentication to ensure that only authorized applications and users can access platform resources.

Authentication mechanisms are designed to balance security, performance, and ease of integration for developers and partners.

Authentication Overview

• All API requests must be authenticated
• Credentials are issued per account or integration
• Access is scoped based on permissions and roles
• Requests are transmitted over HTTPS only

Tokens & Credentials

API access is granted using secure tokens that identify the calling application and its associated permissions. Tokens should be stored securely and never exposed in client-side code.

Token rotation and revocation are supported to help maintain security if credentials are compromised or no longer needed.

Best Practices

• Never commit API keys or tokens to source control
• Restrict token permissions to the minimum required
• Rotate credentials periodically
• Monitor usage and revoke unused tokens

Detailed authentication flows, example requests, and error handling documentation will be added as API endpoints are finalized.
