Authentication

The Fintel API uses share-secret authentication. In shared-secret authentication, both the client and the server know a secret, and the client passes this secret to the server when making requests. The server checks the secret against what it is expecting, and if correct, properly authenticates the request.

Here are the steps required to generate your secret:

• Login to Fintel
• Go to https://fintel.io/u/d
• Click the "Generate Key" button

One you have your key, you must supply it to the server in each request. To do this, add it to the header as the "X-API-KEY" property.
