Authentication

Every /api/v1/* request requires an API key (prefix cal_). Create and revoke keys in account settings. Max 3 active keys per user.

Pass the key in one of these ways (prefer a header):

Request

Authorization: Bearer cal_your_key_here

Request

X-Api-Key: cal_your_key_here

Request

GET https://dev.calendra.work/api/v1/countries/
Authorization: Bearer cal_your_key_here

Rate limits

Each successful authenticated request counts toward your monthly quota (including GET /me/). Limits reset on the 1st of each UTC month. Response headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 5
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 4
X-RateLimit-Reset: 2026-08-01T00:00:00Z
