Authentication

Authenticate with the Fathom SDKs using API keys

API Key Authentication

TypeScript

import { Fathom } from 'fathom-typescript';

const fathom = new Fathom({
  security: {
    apiKeyAuth: process.env.FATHOM_API_KEY_AUTH || ""
  }
});

Bearer Token Authentication

TypeScript

import { Fathom } from 'fathom-typescript';

const fathom = new Fathom({
  security: {
    bearerAuth: "YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"
  }
});

Security Schemes

Name	Type	Environment Variable
apiKeyAuth	apiKey	FATHOM_API_KEY_AUTH
bearerAuth	http	FATHOM_BEARER_AUTH
tokenRequestStandalone	http	FATHOM_TOKEN_REQUEST_STANDALONE

Security Best Practices

• Use environment variables for credentials
• Use OAuth for multi-user integrations
• Rotate API keys regularly
• Monitor API usage
