Authentication

The Birdie API uses Personal access tokens, called API Key, to authenticate requests.

API Keys are tied to the Birdie user account for which they were created, and provides the same level of access that a user would have in its Team workspace. Restricted folders videos and Personal videos will always be excluded from the results.

Get your API key

Go to your Profile settings to generate an API Key.

This API Key is a Personal Token, linked to your account: every request is made on your behalf (you or the user who issued this token), and remains valid as long as your account exists, unless you revoke it.

How to use your API key

Once you have created your API Key, you can use it to make requests to the API. Requests are authenticated using HTTP Bearer Authentication. You must provide the access token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}
