Site Keys

Pixel Patrol uses site keys for API authentication. Each site you create has a unique site key that identifies your application and provides access to the API.

​
Getting Your Site Key

  1. Log in to your Pixel Patrol dashboard
  2. Navigate to your team and select a site
  3. Your site key will be displayed in the format: site_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

​
Using Site Keys

Include your site key in the request body for all API calls: 
{
  "api_key": "site_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "content_url": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
  "app_media_id": "unique-123"
}
Keep your site keys secure! Never expose them in client-side code or public repositories. Always use them from your backend services.

​
No Bearer Tokens Required

Unlike many APIs, Pixel Patrol doesn’t use Authorization headers or Bearer tokens. Simply include your site key in the request body. 
# ✅ Correct - site key in request body
curl -X POST https://api.pixelpatrol.net/functions/v1/submit-media \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "api_key": "site_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "body": "Text to moderate"
  }'

# ❌ Incorrect - don't use Authorization headers
curl -X POST https://api.pixelpatrol.net/functions/v1/submit-media \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer site_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -d '{"body": "Text to moderate"}'

​
Team-Based Access

Each site key is tied to a specific team and site. The API automatically:
  • Associates submitted media with the correct team
  • Applies the site’s configured rule groups
  • Enforces the team’s subscription limits
  • Routes webhooks to the site’s configured endpoints

​
Key Rotation

If you suspect your site key has been compromised:
  1. Contact support@pixelpatrol.net
  2. We’ll generate a new site key for you
  3. Update your applications with the new key
  4. The old key will be immediately disabled
