Authentication

Use your account API key for RPC API, Streams API, and Pipelines API.

Required header:

X-Api-Key: evk_your_live_key

RPC API example

curl --http2 -sS https://rpc-<endpoint>.evmkit.app \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'X-Api-Key: evk_your_live_key' \
  --data '{ ... }'

Streams API example

npx wscat -c wss://streams-<endpoint>.evmkit.app -H 'X-Api-Key: evk_your_live_key'

Authentication is checked during every websocket handshake.

Pipelines and Pipelines API access

Pipelines in the dashboard UI starts with account sign-in.

Direct Pipelines API requests use the same account API key in the X-Api-Key header.

Required header:

X-Api-Key: evk_your_live_key

The dashboard UI uses that same account API key behind the scenes when it calls the account API.

Bearer session tokens are used for account sign-in and session endpoints, not for Pipelines API resource requests.

See Pipelines for the product overview and Pipelines API for the management endpoints.
