LimeCall's API and WebHooks

LimeCall's (API) key is a code used to identify and authenticate an application or user.

Acting as a unique identifier and provide a secret token for authentication purposes.

LimeCall's API will define how pieces of software interact with each other. It controls requests made between programs, how those requests are made, and the data formats used.

Why Use API Keys?

API keys are commonly used to control the utilization of the API’s interface and track how it is being used. This is often as a precaution to prevent abuse or malicious use. Adding additional security when communicating between platforms.
