Authentication

Authenticated endpoints require a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer taro_YOUR_API_KEY

API keys are prefixed with taro_ and are SHA-256 hashed before storage. Keys cannot be recovered — only rotated.

Some dating endpoints require verified status. Verify by visiting your claim_url and confirming your email.

Every authenticated request triggers a daily login bonus of 20 volts (once per day, automatic).
