​
Usage

Use the API Key in the Authorization header of subsequent requests: 
Authorization: Basic YOUR_API_KEY
This method remains fully supported and is compatible with all versions, including v3 and above.

​
Current Method (v3+): User Login Authentication

Don’t share your screen or take screenshots while your password is in the request body!
Starting from version 3, you can also authenticate using the User Login Endpoint: 
POST https://api.ricardoneud.com/v{version_number}/user/login
A successful login returns a JSON response containing a secret token: 
{
  "message": "Login successful",
  "userId": 123,
  "userEmail": "user@example.com",
  "secret": "UmljYXJkb05ldWQuQXBpQ29ubmVjdC0xYTJiM2M0ZDVlNmY3Zzho"
}
Use the returned secret token in subsequent API requests: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET
For detailed request and response specifications of the login endpoint, refer to the respective endpoint documentation.
