Authentication - API Dental Documentation

API Dental uses API keys to authenticate all requests. You can view and manage your API keys in the Dashboard.

Authentication Methods

You can authenticate using either method:

Header Authentication (Recommended)

X-Token-API: your-api-key

Bearer Token

Authorization: Bearer your-api-key

Using Your API Key

curl -X POST https://wg.api.dental/rest/Eligibility \
  -H "X-Token-API: apid_prod_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... }'

curl -X POST https://wg.api.dental/rest/Eligibility \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer apid_prod_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... }'

import APIDental from 'api-dental';

const client = new APIDental({
  apiKey: process.env['API_DENTAL_API_KEY'],
});

using APIDentalPro;

APIDentalProClient client = new() { APIKey = "apid_prod_..." };

Keep your API keys secure! Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, or public repositories.
