Authentication to the AtData APIs is managed through API keys. Every request to our API must be authenticated to ensure secure access and operation. API keys are access credentials composed of alphanumeric characters that allow us to verify that the requests received are from registered users.
To authenticate API requests, include your API key in the query parameter of each request. Here is a general format for including the API key in your requests:
curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.atdata.com/v5/ev?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>'
Replace <YOUR_API_KEY> with the API key obtained from your dashboard.
Keep your key secret
Treat your API key like a password. Do not expose it in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, etc.
