Send your personal API key through the standard Bearer authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer myt_your_api_key
API keys begin with myt_. Each account has one active key. Generating a new key immediately revokes the previous key. Set the key in an environment variable instead of embedding it in source code: 
export MONITOR_YT_API_KEY="myt_your_api_key"

​
Plan requirement

You may generate and rotate a key on any plan. Authenticated public API endpoints require Pro.
  • Missing or invalid keys return 401 unauthorized.
  • Valid keys belonging to Free accounts return 403 upgrade_required.
  • The health-check endpoint does not require authentication.
Treat the key like a password because it grants read access to your tracked feed and video history.

​
Rotate a key

Open Settings and select Regenerate key. The old key stops working immediately, so update every integration that uses it. If a key is exposed, rotate it first and investigate where it was logged or committed before generating another replacement.
