GC Connect

Approve the authorization (merchant consent)

Called by the Galactic Core consent page after the merchant clicks Authorize. Provisions a key pair for the selected store, records the connection, and returns the redirect URL the browser should follow to complete the flow.

An agency-scoped application can be authorized only by a store that belongs to that agency; a store outside the agency receives 403.

Authentication: The merchant’s active Galactic Core session JWT in the Authorization: Bearer header. This is not an API key — it is the session token issued by the GC login flow.

Rate limit: 20 requests/hour per IP address.

This endpoint is called by the hosted consent page — you do not call it directly from your integration.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

API Key Authentication

Use your API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer tybrite_sk_live_YOUR_KEY

Key Types:

Secret Keys (Server-Side Only):

Format: tybrite_sk_live_* (production) or tybrite_sk_test_* (sandbox)
Full read/write access to all endpoints
⚠️ NEVER expose in client-side code or public repositories
Required for: write operations, authentication, payment verification, AI recommendations

Publishable Keys (Client-Safe):

Format: tybrite_pk_live_* (production) or tybrite_pk_test_* (sandbox)
Read-only access (GET requests only, plus POST semantic search)
✅ Safe for client-side JavaScript, mobile apps, and public code
Allowed for: browsing products, search, CMS content, pricing queries

Endpoint-Specific Requirements:

Authentication endpoints (/v1/auth/*): Secret key required
Payment verification (POST /v1/payments/verify): Secret key required
AI Recommendations (POST /v1/recommendations): Secret key required
Semantic Search (POST /v1/search): Both key types allowed (read-only operation)
All write operations: Secret key required
All read operations: Both key types allowed

Using a publishable key for restricted operations returns 403 Forbidden.
