Codat Go
The universal API for small business data
Codat solves the connectivity challenge for developers building the next generation of financial products for small businesses. We're experts in how your application interacts with the other software your customer use, so you can focus on what makes you superior.
Beta Release
Exciting news! Our first Go library beta release is here, simplifying your development workflow with an effortless build process.
Authentication
Codat uses API keys to control access to the API.
You must keep the API key secret, so make sure it isn't available in publicly accessible areas, such as GitHub and client-side code. Codat recommends the API key is only inserted at release time, and the number of people at your organization with access to your API key is minimised.
Codat expects the API key to be included in all API requests to the server, Base64 encoded within an 'Authorization' header.
Authorization: Basic YOUR_ENCODED_API_KEY
Getting your Authorization Header
To get your authorization header from the Codat Portal:
- In the navigation bar, click Developers > API keys.
- In the API Keys section, copy your authorization header rather than the API key itself.
