Authentication

All Meshbrow API requests require authentication via an API key.

API Keys

API keys are prefixed with mb_live_ (production) or mb_test_ (sandbox). Pass your key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer mb_live_your_key_here

import { Meshbrow } from '@meshbrow/sdk';

const client = new Meshbrow({
  apiKey: process.env.MESHBROW_API_KEY,
});

Never commit API keys to source control. Use environment variables or a secrets manager.

Best practices:

Rate limit headers are included in every response:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 600
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 594
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1700000060

Authentication errors return 401 Unauthorized:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "message": "Invalid or expired API key"
  }
}
