Authentication

KenyaAPI requires no authentication and no API key.

All endpoints are publicly accessible via standard HTTP GET requests.

curl https://kenya-api.netlify.app/api/v1/counties

There is no Authorization header, no X-API-Key, and no OAuth flow needed.

Why no auth?

KenyaAPI is built on public data that belongs to Kenyan citizens. Removing auth barriers keeps the API accessible to students, hobbyists, and developers building civic tech without friction.

See Rate Limiting for the only usage constraint in place.
