Authentication

Let's learn more about authenticating with the RocketCAD API.

The RocketCAD API relies on API Keys to authenticate requests. API Keys can be created and customized from your Owner Panel > Integration menu.

Your API Keys may carry many permissions, be sure to keep them secure. Do not publicly share your API Key or reveal it in Github, client-side code, etc.

The standard RocketCAD API authentication will appear like the following example:

POST https://api.therocketcad.com/api/1.1/wf/ping?api_key=DEVELOPER_TESTING

In this example, you are only required to supply a valid API Key, such as the example above.
