Getting Started with Qviple Api
Welcome to the Qviple Api. This guide will walk you through everything you need to start integrating with our API quickly and efficiently.
1. Prerequisites
Before using the API, ensure you have the following:
- API Key: Sign up for an account and get your API key from the Developer Portal.
- Development Environment: Set up your environment with:
- A modern programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript, etc.).
- A REST client (e.g., Postman) or curl for testing endpoints.
- Basic Knowledge: Familiarity with REST APIs and JSON format.
2. Authentication
Our API requires authentication for all requests. Use your API key as follows:
Example (HTTP Header):
