Authentication

Send your key in the Authorization header as a bearer token. The X-Api-Key header works too.

curl https://realtimebets.com/api/v1/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer rtb_sk_your_production_key"

Key types

Prefix	Environment	Feed	Created
`rtb_sb_`	Sandbox	60 seconds behind, one sport	Once per organisation, in the console
`rtb_sk_`	Production	Real time, the sports of your plan	In the console, after the licence record and a plan

Keys are shown once and stored as a SHA-256 hash. Revoke a key in the console at any time; requests with it stop at once. Revoking a key does not give back requests already counted this month.

The me endpoint

GET /api/v1/me returns the environment, the sports the key covers, the expiry of a sandbox key and your plan.
