API Key

EigenExplorer APIs require a valid API key to authenticate requests. Every request (other than system health routes) must include this key to successfully access the API.

​

Creating an API Key

1. Sign in to the EigenExplorer Developer Dashboard.
2. Generate a new API key in the API Keys section and you are good to go!

API Key Management: You can create up to 3 active keys at once. If you need to rotate or deactivate a key, simply delete the old key and generate a new one.

​

Using Your API Key

Include your API key in every request to the EigenExplorer API by adding an x-api-token header:

x-api-token: <YOUR_API_KEY>

For additional examples, please see our Getting Started guide.
