Authentication

Learn how to authenticate your API requests with Time4Boost.

API Keys

Time4Boost uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can obtain an API key by creating a free account on our website.

Request Headers

We expect the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like this:

X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

Code Example

To authorize, use this code:

import { Time4BoostAPI } from "@time4boost/sdk";

// Initialize the SDK with your credentials
const api = new Time4BoostAPI({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  authToken: "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN"
});

// The SDK will automatically handle authentication
const teams = await api.nba.getTeams();

Make sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY and YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with your credentials. You can obtain both by logging into your account.

Manual Request Example

If you're not using our SDK, you'll need to include the authentication headers manually:

const response = await fetch("https://api.time4boost.com/v1/teams", {
  headers: {
    "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN"
  }
});

Authentication Requirements

All API requests require two forms of authentication:

An API key (passed in the X-API-Key header)
An authentication token (passed in the Authorization header as a Bearer token)

Example Headers

X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN

Error Responses

If authentication fails, you will receive one of these error responses:

Missing Authentication: Both the X-API-Key and Authorization headers are required
Invalid API Key: The provided API key is not valid or has been revoked
Invalid Auth Token: The provided authentication token is invalid or has expired
