Authentication

All Looha API requests require authentication using an API key.

Getting Your API Key

Log in to Looha Dashboard
Ensure you're on the Pro plan (API is Pro-only)
Navigate to Settings → API
Click "Create New Key"
Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Excel Integration")
Set expiration date (optional)
Click "Create"
Copy your key immediately - you won't see it again!

DANGER

⚠️ Store your API key securely. If lost, delete it and create a new one.

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header:

bash

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer looha_your_api_key" \
  https://api.looha.app/v1/profit/overview?period=30d

Security Best Practices

✅ DO:

Store keys in environment variables
Use separate keys for each app
Set expiration dates
Delete unused keys

❌ DON'T:

Commit keys to Git
Share keys via email/chat
Use the same key for all apps
Send keys in URL parameters
