Auth & Headers
X-API-Key: your partner secret key (server-side only).X-Request-Id(optional): supply a UUID for tracing—Para always returns one, generating it when omitted.
Allowlisting
Add IPs for any service calling the REST API via the Developer Portal (Security → Allowlist). Once the list has entries, requests from IPs outside it return401 Unauthorized. Leaving the allowlist empty keeps access open to all IPs.
