Authentication

API Keys

The Levercast API uses bearer API keys for authentication. Keys are prefixed with lc_ and are scoped to your user account.

Creating an API Key

1. Navigate to Settings → API Keys in the dashboard
2. Click Create API Key
3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g., "Zapier Integration" or "MCP Client")
4. Copy the full key immediately — it won't be shown again

The key is hashed before storage. Only the prefix (lc_...) is stored for identification.

Using an API Key

Include the key in the Authorization header of every request:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer lc_your_key_here" \
  https://app.levercast.com/api/v1/me

Managing Keys

From Settings → API Keys you can:

• View all keys with their name, prefix, and last-used timestamp
• Revoke a key to permanently disable it

Revoked keys immediately stop working. There is no way to un-revoke — create a new key instead.

GET /me

Returns the authenticated user's profile.

Response:
