Getting started

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header on every request. There is no session, no OAuth and no request body.

  • Every endpoint is a GET and returns JSON.
  • Requests without a valid key, or with an inactive or expired one, return 401 or 403.
  • Keep the key on your server. Never ship it in a public app or send it to image or source URLs.

Use your key on this site

Paste the key below. It is saved only in this browser, fills every example and powers the live catalog. Applying a key does not send a request or verify access.

Apply saves this key for the documentation and demo catalog.
