Overview
Your API Key is the gateway to Explorium's services, enabling secure and authenticated access to our APIs. Every request made to our system must include a valid API Key assigned to your company.
📌 Key Facts:
- Each company receives a single API Key shared among all users under that organization.
- The API Key is automatically assigned when a subscription package is purchased.
🔒 Why is this important?
- Ensures secure access to your account and data.
- Identifies your company for billing and tracking API usage.
- Prevents unauthorized access to Explorium’s services.
