Get your API key

You will need an account to get an API key. If you are not yet a user, sign up for a free account on our homepage. Follow the instructions and become a user so you can start using everything we have to offer.

You need a key to start working with API. You can obtain it in 2 ways:

1. Use the web interface,
2. Authenticate by using the API function login() (see Search for API key for details).

Getting a key from web interface

You can find the key in your account drop-down menu - API Keys section. To get there:

1. Log in to your account
2. Go to your account settings
3. Click the API Keys section.

It will show a list of API keys.

Choose a valid (active) key, which you will use in your application to work with our API. If the list does not contain any keys, you can create a new one by clicking on the "Add a key" button.

Getting a key by using API function login()

By using the login() function and inputting your username and password, you can obtain a valid key as well. If your account is not associated with a key or all keys are inactive, a new valid key will be created. For more information about using this function, please see "Search for API key".

Example of usage

Below, is a simple PHP example, which demonstrates how to find out if the key is valid.

ping();
 
if ($api->errorCode) {
    echo "There was an error!\n";
    echo "Code: " . $api->errorCode . "\n";
    echo "Message: " . $api->errorMessage . "\n";
} else {
    print_r($response);
}
