Example of authentication
Every API call requires key-based authentication. The client must provide a secret key in the HTTP request headers named
IXBC-SECRET-KEY
.
Send this header with each GET request. The API currently only uses GET requests.
Header name | Header value |
---|---|
IXBC-SECRET-KEY

Note: This test key is free to use for integration development, but it only provides data from 2019 and 2020.
