Idempotency

Pass an Idempotency-Key header (UUID v4 recommended) to make retries safe. Keys are valid for 24 hours; see the idempotency guide.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your RevKeen merchant API key. Create and manage keys in Dashboard → Settings → Developer. Use rk_sandbox_* for staging/test and rk_live_* for production. The same key may be sent as Authorization: Bearer <key> if that suits your HTTP client better. A missing, invalid, expired, or revoked key returns 401 with a WWW-Authenticate: Bearer challenge; a valid key without the required scope returns 403.
