Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Pass your secret key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer sk_test_... (sandbox) or Bearer sk_live_... (production).

Keys are created in the developer portal and the plaintext secret is shown exactly once at creation. Treat them like passwords — never embed them in mobile apps or front-end code.

Path Parameters

string

required

Query Parameters

client_id

string

required

The Client (cli_…) to scope the read to. Required on account, transaction, and statement reads — LedgerSync's backend data APIs are scoped per end-user, so these resources are resolved within a single Client.
