Authentication
The GLOBHE API uses Basic HTTP Authentication and requires that you have a valid API key. Once you sign up as a client, you will automatically receive an API key that you can find in your profile. This key will not be automatically approved. See below how you can activate your API key.
Authenticate by setting username to your API key.
**Authentication Via Basic HTTP with Python
# import os module to access environmental modules
import os
import requests
# pass in your API key
os.environ[‘apiKey’]=‘12345' //use your API key instead of 12345
# Setup the API Key from the 'apiKey' environment variable
GLOBHE_API_KEY = os.getenv('apiKey')
BASE_URL = "https://us-central1-globhe-app.cloudfunctions.net/api/v1"
#setup a session
session = requests.Session()
#authenticate session with username and password, pass in an empty string for the password
session.auth = (GLOBHE_API_KEY, "")
#make a get request to the Data API
res = session.get(BASE_URL)
# test response
print(res.status_code)
# print response body
print(res.text)
**Authentication Via cURL
curl -u {apiKey}: https://us-central1-globhe-app.cloudfunctions.net/api/v2 Activate your API key
