Authentication
The LeadMagic API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can find your API key in your account profile on the LeadMagic platform. This key must be included in the header of each request to the API.
Obtaining Your API Key
- Log in to your LeadMagic account.
- Navigate to your Account Profile.
- Locate the API Key section and copy your API key.
Using Your API Key
Include your API key in each API request by adding it to the request's header. The API key should be included as the value for the X-API-Key
header field.
Example using curl
:
curl -X GET 'https://api.leadmagic.io/email-validate' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'X-API-Key: YourApiKeyHere'

Best Practices for API Key Security
-
Keep it Secret: Your API key is akin to a password. Do not share it publicly or expose it in places where unauthorized users might access it, such as public repositories or forums.
-
Regenerate if Necessary: If you suspect your API key has been compromised, regenerate it immediately from your Account Profile to prevent unauthorized access.
