### API Version

* Current Version: **v1**

Base URL:

```
https://api.quicksync.me/{version}/
```

Replace `{version}` with the appropriate API version (e.g., `v1`).

### Authentication

This API uses **Bearer Token Authentication**. To authenticate, include your token in the `Authorization` header:

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
```

Some endpoints require a bearer token generated by a [wallet ownership verification](https://docs.quicksync.me/qs-framework/wallet-verification-api) flow.

This API also uses **API Keys** to authenticate applications, include your API key in the `X-API-KEY` header:

```
X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY
```
