API Client

Keep secrets in the environment, never hardcode them. Send requests to your own configured base URL:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" "$API_BASE_URL/v1/users"

Store API_TOKEN and API_BASE_URL in your shell profile or a local .env that is gitignored. The token only goes to your own configured host.
