Authentication

Beam API authenticates your requests to ensure that they really come from you.

Authentication to the API is performed via HTTP Basic Auth. In the username and password fields, provide the following:

Username - Provide your Beam Merchant ID
Password - Provide your Beam API Key

Your Beam API Key can be self-managed through your account in Lighthouse under the Developers section.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail with the relevant error being returned to you.

Please do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so on.
