Server to Server

Server to server traffic uses API Key authentication.

Vital API Keys can be created through the Vital Team Dashboard. Requests from your backend services should present the API Key in the X-Vital-API-Key header. For example:

cURL
curl --request GET
  --url '{{BASE_URL}}/v2/providers'
  --header 'X-Vital-API-Key: <YOUR-API-KEY>'

Vital Mobile SDKs

Vital Mobile SDKs supports two authentication methods:

  1. Vital Sign-In Token — Recommended for production usage

  2. Vital API Keys — Recommended only for evaluation in Sandbox

Refer to the Mobile SDK Authentication documentation for more information.
