To verify a SeatEngine API token, you can use a validation script that checks the SEATENGINE_AUTH_TOKEN against the SeatEngine v1 API. It confirms whether the token is accepted, preventing silent scraper failures caused by expired or invalid credentials.

When a SeatEngine auth token is expired or missing, the validation check fails and exits with a status of 1. It detects these scenarios against the v1 API and provides immediate pass/fail feedback with recommended remediation.

Checking an auth token stored in a .env file involves reading the SEATENGINE_AUTH_TOKEN from apps/scraper/.env and sending a request to the API. The script uses the x-auth-token header to authenticate and confirm the token remains valid.

Yes, token validation is suitable for CI pipelines, local debugging, and automated health checks. The script provides immediate pass or fail feedback, exiting with 0 on success or 1 on failure, making it ideal for automated workflows.

Scrapers fail silently when the API endpoint is unreachable because the token cannot be validated. A dedicated validation skill handles this scenario by detecting unreachable endpoints and reporting the failure, ensuring you are alerted before scraper operations break.

Yes, SeatEngine API authentication uses the x-auth-token header to validate the SEATENGINE_AUTH_TOKEN. The validation script sends this header to the v1 API endpoint to confirm the token is accepted and active.
