Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

Your Recurr secret API key as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer rk_live_….

Keys are environment-scoped — rk_live_ operates on live data, rk_test_ on isolated test data (see Test mode). Create, scope, and rotate keys in your dashboard (Settings → API keys, developer role). Secret keys are server-side only — never ship them in an app binary or client JavaScript.

Headers

​
Idempotency-Key
string

Idempotency key for safe retries on write operations. Pass a unique key per logical request; Recurr returns the original response for duplicate keys within a 24-hour window.

Maximum string length: 255
