Authentication

API Key

StreetLight APIs use API keys to authenticate requests. You can either have a different API key for each StreetLight API to which you have access, or you can have one API key for all the APIs to which you have access.

To request access to the StreetLight InSight® API or the StreetLight Advanced Traffic Counts API:

• New to StreetLight? Request credentials here
• Already a StreetLight user? Contact your account representative or support to add API access to your subscription and get an API key

Include the following information in your request for an API Key:

• Use case
• Intended analysis configuration
• Expected number or frequency of API calls

🚧

Important

Keep this API key secure as it grants access to StreetLight APIs. Do not share it publicly or hardcode it in client-side applications.

All requests must be made over HTTPS. Requests sent over plain HTTP or without authentication will fail.

StreetLight InSight® Login

For the StreetLight InSight® API, you must have a StreetLight InSight® login email to authenticate some requests. You do not use your password to authenticate API requests.
