# Authenticate your requests

After obtaining your API key, include it in the headers of every authenticated request to the API. The API expects the key to be passed via the `X-API-Key` header.

{% code fullWidth="false" %}

```javascript
const BASE_URL = 'https://api.conblox.xyz/';
const endpoint = 'some_endpoint';
const API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY";
const response = await fetch(BASE_URL + endpoint, {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "X-API-Key": API_KEY
    }
});
const data = await response.json();

```
