}Authorizations
The Checkly Public API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can get the API Key here. Your API key is like a password: keep it secure!
Authentication to the API is performed using the Bearer auth method in the Authorization header and using the account ID.
For example, set Authorization header while using cURL: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer [apiKey]" "X-Checkly-Account: [accountId]"
Headers
Your Checkly account ID, you can find it at https://app.checklyhq.com/settings/account/general
Query Parameters
Determines whether a new check will automatically be added as a subscriber to all existing alert channels when it gets created.
