This is a HTTP API secured by SSL so always use https://api.placekey.io. All request and response bodies will be JSON. Make sure to set your Content-Type header to application/json.

To get started you'll need an .

Authentication to the API is done via API Keys. You can generate these from your account dashboard. You can make as many as you like but remember that rate-limiting applies to you across all of them so remember to revoke keys that aren't in use to ensure that some old program of yours isn't using up your quota.

All you have to do to be authenticated is to set the apikey header on your request to your API key.

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.placekey.io/v1/placekey' \
--header 'apikey: {{apikey}}'
