API Key Configuration

To securely access the Operation Track API, every request must be authenticated using a valid API Key. This ensures that only verified users can interact with delivery tracking, routing, and feedback endpoints.

📌 Why You Need an API Key​

Your API key:

  • Authenticates your application with Operation Track servers.
  • Tracks usage and enforces rate limits per organization.
  • Helps identify and protect your system from unauthorized access.
  • Enables logging and auditing for API calls tied to your account.

⚠️ Never share your API key publicly. Store it securely on your server or environment variables.
