{% embed url="https://app.sleengshort.com/api/airtime" %}

### **Authorization**

To get started, create an account on sleengshort.com, on the left panel go to <mark style="color:green;">Settings --> API Keys --> Add New Key</mark>, and provide the name of the API key and a callback URL and IP Address. To find more about the Callback URL, see reporting sections below.

An API key will be generated for your application by the process described above.

Note that when creating your API Keys there is an input field for **IP Address**. This is a security measure to protect you if your API Key is being exposed.

To authenticate API request origination from your application pass the header X-API-Key into the header of every request.

\--header '<mark style="color:blue;">X-Api-Key: APPKEY\_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</mark>'
