🔑 Authentication

All requests to Nexra’s API require authentication to ensure your game and data are secure. Unlike typical bearer tokens, Nexra uses a Game API Key that you get when you register your game on the dashboard.

​
📝 Get Your Game API Key

  1. Go to the Nexra Dashboard.
  2. Click Create New Game.
  3. Fill in your game details (name, description, etc.).
  4. Once the game is created, you will receive your Game API Key.
Keep your API Key secret. Do not share it publicly or embed it in client-side code.

​
🔗 Using Your API Key

Include your API Key in the Authorization header for all API requests: 
Authorization: ApiKey <your_game_api_key>
Content-Type: application/json
Example: Create a Tournament 
POST /tournament/create
Authorization: ApiKey 123456789abcdef
Content-Type: application/json

🔒 Best Practices

  • Never expose your Game API Key in public repositories or frontend code.
  • Rotate your API Key if you believe it has been compromised.
  • Always use HTTPS to secure your API requests.
  • Log and monitor requests from your game for unusual activity.
