What should my app respond with for success / failure? I couldn’t find it in the docs.

Best answer by Zane

With API key auth, you’re collecting a key from your user and simply including it in a header or param of every request to your API. Any API request will return a response with a status of HTTP 200 if auth was authorized, and an HTTP 401 if the API key is invalid.
