# Requesting and Using API Key ## How to request API key If you'd like an API key, open a support ticket on our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/flytrade) in order to request one. In your request, please include detailed information about your project and/or how you intend to utilize our APIs. ## How to use API key Include the `apikey` header alongside the request. To verify that the API key is working, check if the response contains `x-auth-status: authenticated` header. ``` $ curl -I -H 'apikey: ' https://api.magpiefi.xyz/ | grep -i 'x-auth-status' ``` ### Endpoint Guidelines * Public Access Endpoint: * This endpoint is intended for general public use and does not require API key authentication. * Authenticated Access Endpoint: * You must use this endpoint with your API key included as described above. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
