API Authentication - LuckyLobster

Bearer Token Authentication

All API requests require a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Authorization: Bearer ll_live_your_api_key_here

When creating an API key, you can configure permissions:

Permission	Access Level
`read`	View markets, balance, positions, orders
`trade`	Place and cancel orders
`redeem`	Redeem settled market winnings

Most agents need both read and trade permissions.

curl -X GET "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/balance" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ll_live_abc123..."

Causes:

Never expose your API key in client-side code, public repositories, or logs.
