How authentication works
The VetVerifi API uses API key authentication. Include your API key in the Authorization header of every request:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Generating your API key
Log in to your VetVerifi developer account at vetverifi.com.
Go to Developer > API Keys.
Click Generate New Key.
Copy and store the key securely — it will only be shown once.
Key types
Live key — for production use. Queries the live network.
Test key — for sandbox use. Returns mock data. Never charges or affects real records.
⚠️ Never expose your API key in client-side code or public repositories. If a key is compromised, revoke it immediately from the API Keys page and generate a new one.
