All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

​
Getting your API key

  1. Log into the CronAPI dashboard
  2. Navigate to the API Key page in the sidebar
  3. Your API key is generated automatically on first visit
  4. Copy the key immediately — the full plaintext key is only shown once
Store your API key securely. It cannot be retrieved after the initial display — only the prefix is stored for identification.

​
Using your API key

Include the key in the Authorization header of every API request: 
curl https://app.cronapi.dev/api/v1/crons \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer APIKEY"

​
Regenerating your key

You can regenerate your API key from the dashboard at any time. This immediately invalidates the previous key — any requests using the old key will return 401 Unauthorized.

​
Error responses

If authentication fails, the API returns:
401
{
  "error": "Missing or invalid Authorization header"
}
Common causes:
  • Missing Authorization header
  • Missing Bearer prefix
  • Invalid or revoked API key
