3) Understand authentication (Basic Auth)
The SkhokhoAI API uses HTTP Basic Authentication (username + password) over TLS.
Username: your SkhokhoAI account email
Password: your SkhokhoAI account password
The client sends
Authorization: Basic <base64(username:password)>.Do not hardcode credentials. Store them securely (password manager / secrets manager) and load them via environment variables.
4) Make your first call
Once your credentials are ready, you can test the API using any HTTP client.
You can now start using the API to make calls (e.g: User Profile, Organization Management, etc..) for testing.
Example:
Step 1: Open any read-only endpoint
User Profile → GET /api/v1.0/me/
This endpoint returns the profile of the currently authenticated user.
Step 2: Click Test it
On the right-hand panel, click the blue Test it button.
Step 3: Enter your credentials
In the Authorizations dropdown, select basicAuth
Enter your SkhokhoAI username (email) and password
The API uses HTTP Basic Auth. GitBook automatically encodes and sends the credentials for you.
Step 4: Click Send
GitBook will perform the request and display:
Status code (e.g.
200 Success)Response body (JSON)
Headers
Step 6: Validate the response
A 200 OK response confirms your:
Account is active
Basic Auth is working
Organization access is valid
You are now ready to start using the API for automation and integration.

Configure environment variables (recommended). Set credentials once; reference them everywhere.
