Authorizing with an API Key

Relax. We'll talk through this in plain words — no textbook voice.

text

curl -X GET "https://api.example.com/v1/users"   -H "X-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"   -H "Accept: application/json"

🎯 Result[ { "id": "u_1", "name": "Alice" }, { "id": "u_2", "name": "Bob" } ]

Tip Never expose your API Key on the client side — keep it server-side only.
