Authentication

API authentication using API keys and JWT tokens.

Authentication Methods

The dbaBrain API supports two authentication methods:

  • -API Key - for server-to-server integrations (sent in X-API-Key header)
  • -JWT Token - for user sessions (sent in Authorization: Bearer header)

API Key Authentication

API keys are generated when you register or can be created in Settings > API Keys.

bash
curl -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \

JWT Authentication

For user sessions, obtain a JWT via the login endpoint:

bash
# Login
curl -X POST https://api.dbabrain.ai/api/v1/auth/login \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "you@company.com", "password": "your-password"}'

# Response includes token
{"session": {"token": "eyJhbG..."}, "user": {...}}

# Use token in subsequent requests
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbG..." \
  https://api.dbabrain.ai/api/v1/metrics
