The Fareclock API uses HTTP access authentication to authenticate each request. Multiple API keys can be created per account to support application isolation. The API keys are set up and managed in the Fareclock Admin Console application.

The API key establishes authentication using an HTTP header, as follows:

Authorization: Token MY_API_KEY

To create an API key, sign in to https://www.fareclock.com/login. Then in the top menu bar, go to Settings => Integrations. On the screen below the menu bar, you can add an API key, or edit any existing ones. You can also set specific permissions for an API key.
