Authentication
Every request is authenticated with an API key sent in the
X-API-Key header.
curl -X POST "https://prs.recruspace.com/v1/parse" \ -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" \ -F "[email protected]"
Keys
Keys are issued to you by your integration contact. A request with a missing or
invalid key returns 401.
| Response | Meaning |
|---|---|
401 Missing X-API-Key header | No key was sent. |
401 Invalid API key | The key is not recognized. |
Keep keys server-side
- Send requests from your backend, never from untrusted clients.
- Store keys in a secret manager or environment variable — never in source control.
- Rotate a key by requesting a new one; old keys stop working immediately.
The Try it console keeps your key only in the browser session and sends it as the same header.
