Getting Started

This API requires an API key for authentication. Here's how to get started:

Sign up — Visit the API's website and create a free account.
Get your key — After signing up, you'll receive a unique API key (usually found in your dashboard or account settings).
Include it in requests — Add your API key to each request, typically as a query parameter (?api_key=YOUR_KEY) or in the request header (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY). Check the API's documentation for the exact format.

API keys are free for most public APIs. They're used to identify your application and enforce rate limits — not to charge you.
