API Authentication

YouTubeRSS uses API key authentication for all API requests. Your API key acts as both identification and authorization for your account.

​
Getting Your API Key

​
Step 1: Access Your Dashboard

  1. Log in to your YouTubeRSS account at ytrss.xyz
  2. Navigate to API Keys

​
Step 2: Generate an API Key

  1. Click Generate Key
  2. Provide a descriptive name for your key (e.g., “Production App”, “Development”)
  3. Click Generate

​
Step 3: Secure Your Key

  • Never expose your API key in client-side code - Store it securely using environment variables - Rotate your keys regularly - Use different keys for different environments (dev, staging, production)

​
Using Your API Key

Include your API key in the Authorization header using the Bearer token format: 
curl -X GET https://ytrss.xyz/api/v1/poll/job/1234 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
