Authentication

https://docs.importexportapi.com/authentication

Every request is authenticated with an API key created in the dashboard. Keys are secrets: call the API from your backend, never from a browser or mobile app.

Authenticated request
curl -X GET "https://api.importexportapi.com/trade" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
