Let's get you started with Oxygen API Authentication
Below is a simple three-step guide to generating an API key in Oxygen:
The secret key
Navigate to the API keys panel to generate the API key that will be used in your requests.
Copy the secret key
You will not be able to retrieve the secret key once it is lost. This is the only moment you will be able to view it. If lost, you will need to generate a new one.
Use the secret key
All API requests should include your secret key in a Authorization OR x-api-key HTTP header as follows :
Authorization: Bearer oxy-xxxxxxxxx
x-api-key: oxy-xxxxxxxxxTo use the API, you will need to top up your account, as there is no free tier available. This is primarily to prevent duplicate accounts and malicious abuse.
