Authentication
So we know it's really you.
Your API Key
You can find your API key in the SecurityTrails control panel.
To authenticate requests to the SecurityTrails API you will need to include the API key in an HTTP header named APIKEY
. For example, if your API key is your_api_key, using curl you would make a request like
curl --include \
--header "APIKEY: your_api_key" \
'https://api.securitytrails.com/v1/ping'
Query-String method
If for some reason you cannot include HTTP headers in the request you can also provide the API key as a query parameter. Assuming your API key is your_api_key you would query our API like
https://api.securitytrails.com/v1/ping?apikey=your_api_key
Query-string method is not recommended
Because query strings are often logged in clear-text we discourage you from using the query-string method to supply the apikey. Ensure that you are using
https
.
