Privacy.com
Privacy.com issues virtual debit/credit cards -- merchant-locked or single-use -- that route through the cardholder's own funded bank account, letting shoppers cap spend or kill a leaked card number without touching their real account. The developer API mirrors that flow programmatically: create and configure cards, attach funding sources, and pull transaction and webhook data, all gated behind an account API key and US identity verification (CIP) before any card can transact. Core card management is free to use; sharing a card with another user is the one feature paywalled behind a paid Privacy.com subscription.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
