Authenticating Your Notifyre API
The Notifyre API utilises API tokens for authenticating requests, which means creating a Notifyre account for access. Once the account is set up, you can generate an API token via the Notifyre dashboard under Settings > Developer, where you also have the option to revoke it if needed.
To authenticate your API requests, include the generated API token in the x-api-token header. It's important to note that using an incorrect or invalid token, or failing to use one at all, will result in an error from Notifyre.
