Tip

For security reasons, we recommend using the API key in the request headers.

Request Headers

Authorizations
Authorization String Required	<API_Key>

cURL

curl --location 'https://api.cookie-api.com/api/api-key' \
--header 'Authorization: API_Key'

Python

import requests

url = 'https://api.cookie-api.com/api/api-key'
headers = {'Authorization': 'API_Key'}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())

JavaScript

const fetch = require('node-fetch');

const url = 'https://api.cookie-api.com/api/api-key';

fetch(url, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'API_Key'
    }
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "io/ioutil"
)

func main() {
    url := "https://api.cookie-api.com/api/api-key"
    req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    req.Header.Add("Authorization", "API_Key")

    resp, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Node.js

const https = require('https');

const options = {
    hostname: 'api.cookie-api.com',
    path: '/api/api-key',
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
        'Authorization': 'API_Key'
    }
};

const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
    let data = '';

    res.on('data', (chunk) => {
        data += chunk;
    });

    res.on('end', () => {
        console.log(JSON.parse(data));
    });
});

req.on('error', (e) => {
    console.error(e);
});

req.end();

Ruby

require 'net/http'
require 'json'
require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse("https://api.cookie-api.com/api/api-key")
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
request["Authorization"] = "API_Key"

response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) { |http|
  http.request(request)
}

puts JSON.parse(response.body)

Rust

use reqwest::header::HeaderMap;
use reqwest::blocking::Client;

fn main() {
    let url = "https://api.cookie-api.com/api/api-key";
    let mut headers = HeaderMap::new();
    headers.insert("Authorization", "API_Key".parse().unwrap());

    let client = Client::new();
    let res = client.get(url).headers(headers).send().unwrap();

    println!("{}", res.text().unwrap());
}
