The AuthForge Developer API lets you manage licenses programmatically from your own backend. Use it to create licenses after Stripe payments, revoke access, manage variables, configure webhooks, and more.
Base URL
https://api.authforge.cc/v1/
/v1/.
Authentication
Every request must include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token:
Authorization: Bearer af_live_your_key_here
af_live_ for identification.
Each key is scoped to your account and can manage licenses across all of your applications — the target app is specified per-request via the appId field or URL parameter.
API keys are shown only once when created. Store them securely. If compromised, delete the key in the dashboard and create a new one.
Rate limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|
| Burst | 100 requests/second |
| Sustained | 50 requests/second |
429 response. Back off and retry with exponential backoff.
Credits
The Developer API itself does not consume credits. Credits are only consumed by SDK authentication (validate and heartbeat calls). See Managing Credits for details.
All responses return JSON. Successful responses include the requested data directly:
{
"licenses": [...],
"cursor": null
}
error code and a human-readable message:
{
"error": "not_found",
"message": "Resource not found"
}
cursor value. Pass it as a query parameter in the next request:
# First page
curl "https://api.authforge.cc/v1/licenses?appId=YOUR_APP_ID&limit=100" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer af_live_your_key"
# Next page
curl "https://api.authforge.cc/v1/licenses?appId=YOUR_APP_ID&limit=100&cursor=eyJsaW..." \
-H "Authorization: Bearer af_live_your_key"
cursor is null, you’ve reached the last page.
