# Authentication
All API requests require authentication via one of:
## Bearer Token (Recommended)
\`\`\`bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" https://api.example.com/v1/users
\`\`\`
Tokens expire after 1 hour. Use the refresh token to obtain a new access token.
## API Key
\`\`\`bash
curl -H "X-API-Key: <api-key>" https://api.example.com/v1/users
\`\`\`
API keys don't expire but can be revoked in the dashboard.
## OAuth 2.0
For third-party integrations:
1. Redirect to `/oauth/authorize`
2. User grants permission
3. Receive authorization code
4. Exchange code for tokens
# Pagination
List endpoints return paginated results.
## Request Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Max | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-----|-------------|
| page | integer | 1 | - | Page number (1-indexed) |
| limit | integer | 20 | 100 | Items per page |
## Response Format
\`\`\`json

"pagination": {
"page": 1,
"limit": 20,
"total": 150,
"totalPages": 8,
"hasNext": true,
"hasPrev": false
}
}
\`\`\`
## Cursor-Based Pagination
For large datasets, use cursor pagination:
\`\`\`bash
GET /api/v1/events?cursor=abc123&limit=50
\`\`\`
\`\`\`json
{
"data": [...],
"cursors": {
"next": "def456",
"prev": null
}
}
\`\`\`
# Error Handling
