​
Base URLs

​
Authentication

The API supports two authentication methods:

​
1. API Key Authentication

For server-to-server communication: 
const headers = {
  'x-api-key': 'sk_live_your-api-key-here',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};

​
2. SIWE Authentication

For wallet-based authentication using Sign-In with Ethereum: 
// 1. Get nonce
const { nonce } = await fetch('/auth/nonce');

// 2. Create message and sign
const message = `api.lidian.finance wants you to sign in...`;
const signature = await wallet.signMessage(message);

// 3. Verify and get session
const { success, session } = await fetch('/auth/verify', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({ message, signature, address: wallet.address })
});
