Authentication

All API requests use a Bearer token (your API key) in the Authorization header.

API key

Get your API key from Account → API Settings. Keys look like dc_live_xxxxxxxx. Keep them secret; use HTTPS only and do not expose keys in client-side code or public repos.

Header

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Example (cURL)

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer dc_live_xxxxxxxx" \
  "https://www.docuclipper.com/api/v1/protected/job/12345"

Errors

401 Unauthorized – Missing or invalid API key. 403 Forbidden – Valid key but insufficient permissions. See Errors for full error codes.
