Authentication

Every request carries your key in one header. There are no sessions and no OAuth.

  • Send the key in the x-api-key header on every request.
  • Never put the key in the address or in code that runs in your visitors' browsers.
  • Keep it on your server and call the API from there.
  • A missing, invalid or inactive key answers 403. A source your key does not include answers 401.
