Quick Start

To start using the API, you'll need:

  1. An API key (contact us to get one)
  2. A REST client or your favorite programming language
  3. Basic understanding of HTTP requests

All API requests require authentication using an API key. Include your API key in the request header:

Base URL

All API requests should be made to:

Example Request

Here's a simple example using curl:

curl -X GET "https://api.example.com/v1/users" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \

Response Format

All responses are returned in JSON format:

json
{
  "data": {
    // Response data here
