API Authentication
All API requests require authentication using your API key.

​
API Key

Include your API key in the X-API-Key header of every request: 
curl -X POST https://api.launchpad.trade/endpoint \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"param": "value"}'
Get your API key from the Dashboard.

​
Base URL

https://api.launchpad.trade

Security Best Practices

Your API key should only be used in server-side code. Never include it in frontend JavaScript, mobile apps, or any code that runs on the client.
Store your API key in environment variables, not in your code.
.env
LAUNCHPAD_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

const apiKey = process.env.LAUNCHPAD_API_KEY;
If you suspect your API key has been exposed, generate a new one immediately from the Dashboard. The old key will be invalidated.
