Quick start
- Sign in and go to Settings → API & MCP.
- Create a key. Choose Read only or Read + write, and an expiry.
- Call the API with the key as a Bearer token:
curl https://portal-demo.tender-lock.co/api/v1/me \
-H "Authorization: Bearer tl_live_YOUR_KEY"Built-in governance
The same rules that protect your tenders in the app apply to every integration and agent:
- Nothing is published, awarded or deleted through the API or MCP. Integrations create drafts; a named person reviews and publishes them in TenderLock.
- Sealed means sealed. Bids cannot be read by anyone, including the API, until the closing date.
- Everything is logged. Each request is recorded against its key, and changes appear in the tender's audit trail.
