Authentication
How to authenticate with the TIC LENS API: send your API key in the x-api-key request header.
Every request to the LENS API (https://lens-api.tic.io) carries your API key in the x-api-key request header:
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" "https://lens-api.tic.io/companies/12345"The key is only read from this header. A key in the query string is ignored, and the request is answered with 401.
API keys are created and managed in the TIC Lens web application under Settings → API Keys. Each key belongs to a team and gets the team’s subscription plan and features.
Feature gating per plan, the brute-force protection and the full list of 401 and 403 errors are described in LENS API authentication.
