This guide covers the minimum steps required to integrate with the API and make your first successful request.

Step 1 — Obtain your API key

Follow the Authentication article in the API Reference section to generate a key and understand how to pass it in requests.

Step 2 — Verify connectivity

Send a GET request to /v1/ping. A 200 OK response with {"status":"ok"} confirms you are authenticated and connected.

Step 3 — Fetch your first resource

Send a GET request to /v1/articles to retrieve a paginated list of articles. Use per_page and page query parameters to navigate results.
