How Telemetry API works

Our API follows JSON:API specification.

API requests made to Better Stack API are authorized using a Bearer Authentication standard. That means you'll only need to add a header with Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN to your requests.

API tokens are scoped per team. That means you'll get a separate API token for each of your teams.
