Using your API key

Overview of API key usage

The preferred method to authenticate with your API key is through the use of an apikey submitted as part of the HTTP header for the request.

Examples for authentication are provided through some simple CURL requests using the Resource Information Network Services

HTTP Header

curl -i --verbose --location 'https://api.scicrunch.io/elastic/v1/_cat/aliases' --header 'apikey: <<YOUR API KEY>>'

URL Query Paramter

curl -i --verbose --location 'https://api.scicrunch.io/elastic/v1/_cat/aliases?key=<<YOUR API KEY>>'

Best Practice

Use the apikey HTTP header for authentication
