Authentication

API key authentication for the August Ads Developer API.

API Key Authentication

All Developer API requests require a valid API key sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer aug_live_YOUR_KEY

Getting an API Key

  1. Go to Settings → API
  2. Click "Create Key" and give it a name
  3. Copy the key immediately — it won't be shown again

Key Format

API keys follow the format aug_live_ followed by 32 hexadecimal characters. Keys are hashed with bcrypt and cannot be recovered if lost.

Security

  • Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories
  • Use environment variables to store keys in your applications
  • Revoke and rotate keys immediately if you suspect they have been compromised
  • You can create up to 10 active keys per account
