AuthenticationCopy Anchor Link

Every request carries a project ingest key (owl_ing_ followed by 48 hex characters):

Authorization: Bearer owl_ing_your_key_here

Keys are write-only for a single project, shown once at creation, and stored only as a hash. Query strings, cookies, and the authorization header are stripped at the gateway.
