Welcome to our API documentation! This guide will walk you through obtaining credentials, making requests, and troubleshooting common issues.

Step 1: What You Need

• Basic knowledge of REST APIs and JSON.

• A coding environment with cURL, Python, or Node.js.

Step 2: Get Your API Key

1. Register on our developer portal.

2. Navigate to the API section and create a key.

3. Keep your key secure.

Step 3: First API Call

Test your connection with this cURL request:

curl -X GET "https://api.example.com/resource" -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Replace `https://api.example.com/resource` with the actual API endpoint and `YOUR_API_KEY` with your API key.

Step 4: Explore Further

Step 5: Sample Code

Here's a simple example in Python demonstrating how to make an API call:

python
import requests
url = 'https://api.example.com/resource'
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    print(data)
else:
    print('Error:', response.status_code)

Replace `https://api.example.com/resource` with the actual API endpoint and `YOUR_API_KEY` with your API key.

This guide is designed to help developers integrate our APIs efficiently and effectively.
