Periskope APIs require two headers to be passed to authenticate your requests - a Bearer Authorization header with your apiKey and an x-phone header with your phone number.

​
API Key 🔑

To authenticate you need to add an Authorization header with the contents of the header being Bearer <token> where <token> is your API Key.

x-phone header

The x-phone header is used to direct the request to the correct phone.

e.g. if you want to send a message to a number, the x-phone header specifies which phone must be used to send the message

The x-phone header must be a valid phone number with country code and without any special characters e.g. 919876512340
