Create an Application API Key

Set up your dApp

As a developer you’ll need an API Key for your social application to enable your users to generate data including creating content, following someone and others under the global namespace or your own namespace.

Using API Keys makes sure that

1. social data live under specific namespace that belongs to a developer
2. no other developer could forge data that don’t belong to their namespace.

In the future we’ll gradually replace API Key method with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

Run in Postman:

Next Step

The following mutations require Authorization header:

1. follow
2. unfollow

Use the resulting apiKey as your X-API-KEY header.
