Authentication

Authenticate with the PkmnPrices API using an X-API-Key header. Where to get a key, how to send it, and what a rejected key returns.

Every request carries your API key in the X-API-Key header. Keys are created in the dashboard; the free tier needs an account and a verified email and nothing else.

X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

A missing or unrecognised key returns 401 unauthorized. Limits are counted per account rather than per key, so extra keys separate your apps without dividing the daily budget — see rate limits and credits.
