Authentication api-key-query.http

API key query parameter .http example

Use a query-string key only when the API provider requires it; headers keep credentials out of logs more reliably.

api-key-query.http

Download 
@baseUrl = https://api.example.com
@apiKey = replace-with-api-key

### Send an API key in the query string
GET {{baseUrl}}/weather?city=Oslo&api_key={{apiKey}}
Accept: application/json

Variables to replace

baseUrl
The service origin.
apiKey
The provider-issued API key used by the api_key query parameter.

Expected response

The example expects a 200 OK JSON weather response. Providers usually return 401 or 403 when the query key is absent or invalid.
