Authentication

Every request to the pckt.sh API gateway is authenticated with a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Getting your API key

1. Sign up or log in to your pckt.sh account
2. Open the API Keys section of your dashboard
3. Create a new API key and copy it somewhere safe

Using your API key

Include your key as a Bearer token on every request:

Using gRPC

Endpoints on plans with gRPC access can also be called directly over gRPC at grpc.pckt.sh:443. There's no separate credential — send the same API key as an authorization metadata entry instead of an HTTP header:

The server has reflection enabled, so you can explore and call any endpoint with grpcurl without needing the .proto files:

Each endpoint's page lists its gRPC method path and a ready-to-run grpcurl command, where available.

Try it from these docs

Save your key below and it will be used automatically by the playground on every endpoint page.
