New Authentication process with API key and API Sandbox
July 30th, 2019 by Polina Mikhailouskaya
Easily authorize your application with an API key. You can generate either a Sandbox or Production key in PandaDoc Settings > Integrations > API. Use the API key as an Authorization header in this format “API-Key {{api_key}}” for all your API requests.
Please note the differences between the Sandbox and the Production API keys:
| Sandbox Key | Production Key |
|---|---|
| Calls are limited to 10 requests per minute, per endpoint. | Calls are limited to 100 requests per minute, per endpoint. |
| Generated PDFs have watermarks. | No watermarks in the generated PDFs. |
| Created documents have "[DEV]" prefix by default. | Created documents have the name specified in the request without "[DEV]" prefix. |
The API Sandbox is available on the Business, Enterprise and API plans. The production API key is available on the API plan, which can be requested via API request form.
Our updated Postman collection supports both API key and OAuth 2.0 authentication.
