Auth

Two ways to authenticate with the SwagByte API:

Session cookie. Sign in via POST /api/auth/login and reuse the response cookie. Standard browser flow.
API key. Corporate-only. Generate one under /account/settings → API keys. Pass as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY.

curl https://api.swagbyte.com/api/products?active=1 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SWAGBYTE_API_KEY"

For local development point at http://localhost:3000. Same shape, no key needed for public endpoints.
