# Authorization

RovinieteOnline uses API keys to authenticate and authorize access to its API. You received your unique authorization key (named within the documentation as [YOUR_API_KEY]) during the onboarding process.

To use the API, include your API key in the headers of all requests to the server, using the key X-Authorization.

Use the code samples below to verify your authorization key. This request will be sent to the /v1/ping endpoint.

curl -H "X-Authorization: [YOUR_API_KEY]"  "https://api.rovinieteonline.ro/v1/ping"

try {
    const res = await fetch("https://api.rovinieteonline.ro/v1/ping", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "X-Authorization": "[YOUR_API_KEY]",
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        }
    })
    const json = await res.json()
    console.log(json)
} catch (err) {
    console.log(err)
}

If everything is set up correctly, you will receive this response:

{ "pong": true }
