API-key: 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890abcd

Base 64 encode: "xyz123:1234567890123456789012345678901234567890abcd"

In Postman, you can configure Basic Authorization by clicking the Authorization tab, selecting Basic Auth from the drop-down selector, and then typing the username (userid from above) and password (api-key form above) on the right of the colon on each row.
The API supports HTTPS traffic only (for security reasons).
Generate API-Key
In the Settings page you can click GENERATE in the API-section to create your API-key. You can currently only have one API-key per account.
Scopes
Scopes control what the API-key can access. Currently you can choose:
Read Recipes
Read Batches
Edit Batches
Read Inventory
Edit Inventory
When you generate your API-key you can select different scopes that the API-key can access, when new scopes are added you might need to generate a new key with the new scopes to allow access to the new scopes.
Rate Limit
Currently you can do a maximum of 150 calls per hour per API-key.
Rate limits can be changed at any time, build your integration to handle http code 429 Too Many Requests, response will include a Retry-After header.
