Authentication

The Mews POS API uses bearer authentication, also known as token authentication. When you make an API call, include your API key in the Authorization header in the following format:

Bearer <your API key>

<your API key> is a placeholder for your secret key, which should have an sk_test prefix for access to the test environment and an sk_live prefix for access to the live or production environment.

Important: It is important to keep your API keys safe. Do not share your API keys in publicly accessible locations like GitHub or client-side code.

All API requests should be made over HTTPS, any requests made over HTTP will fail. Additionally, API requests that lack authentication will also fail.
