πŸ‘‰ See API Keys Guide for detailed comparison.

  2. Click "Create API Key"
  3. Enter key details:
  4. Name - Identifier (e.g., "Automation Script")
  5. Description (optional) - What this key is for

    • publish - Publish to topics

  https://app.notifer.io/my-topic

In scripts: 

# Store in environment variable
export NOTIFER_API_KEY="noti_..."

# Use in automation
curl -d "Backup completed" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $NOTIFER_API_KEY" \
  https://app.notifer.io/backups
