Authentication

To authorize, use this code:

                    
                        # TODO: With php. Build php example

                    
# With shell, you can just pass the correct header with each request
curl "api_endpoint_here"
-H "X-Authentication: userapikey"

Every API call needs to be authenticated with an API authentication token. This token is passed in the "X-Authentication" field in the HTTPS request header. The token is formed by concatenating the API username and API password with a ":" symbol. You need to contact us to get your API credentials.
