Action Needed: API Key Authorization Becomes Mandatory for Sitecore Search and Events APIs

Published on : August 31, 2026

If your website uses the Sitecore Search API or Sitecore Events API, it’s time to review your API authentication setup. Sitecore is making API key authorization mandatory for these APIs in the US and APSE2 regions.

This change means businesses using Sitecore Search should make sure their integrations are properly configured before the new authorization requirement takes effect. Updating your Sitecore Search API authentication early can help avoid unexpected API errors or service interruptions.

What Should You Do?

Start by reviewing your current API configuration and completing the required Sitecore Search API key setup. Make sure the correct API keys, permissions, and authorization headers are in place for your Search and Events API requests.
