Authentication

All endpoints use Bearer token authentication. No YouTube credentials — just one FetchLayer API key.

API Keys

Generate API keys from your dashboard. Each key is a ss- prefixed secret token. You can create multiple keys, scope them by platform, and revoke them independently.

Go to dashboard →

Sending requests

Include your API key in the Authorization header as a Bearer token.

bash

curl -X POST https://api.fetchlayer.dev/youtube/comments \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer ss-your-key' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ", "sort": "top"}'

Error responses

Invalid or missing API keys return a 401 Unauthorized response.
