Authentication ​

To use the API, you'll require an API key. You can obtain an API key by signing up for an account on the APITube website.

TIP

The API key should be kept confidential and should not be shared with anyone. If you suspect that your API key has been compromised, you can regenerate it from the APITube website.

API Key in query string ​

WARNING

This method is not recommended for production environments as the API key is exposed in the URL.

The API key can be passed as a query parameter in the URL. This is the simplest way to authenticate your requests.

Request Example:

shell
curl https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything?limit=50&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY ...

API Key in headers ​

You can also pass the API key in the headers of your request. This is a more secure way to authenticate your requests. The API key must be included in the X-API-Key header of the request.

Headers:

  • X-API-Key (string): Your API key for authentication. This header is required for accessing the endpoint.

Request Example:

shell
curl https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything?limit=50 --header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" ...

Bearer Token ​

You can also use a Bearer token to authenticate your requests. This is a more secure way to authenticate your requests. The Bearer token must be included in the Authorization header of the request. The Bearer token should be prefixed with Bearer.

Request Example:

shell
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" https://api.apitube.io/v1/news/everything?limit=50 ...
