You can find your API key in the absentify Dashboard. Keep this key private to ensure the security of your account.

Do not share your API key in public areas, such as GitHub repositories, client-side code, or anywhere it might be exposed to unauthorized users.

The absentify API requires an API key for every request. This key, unique to your account, must be included as the x-api-key in the request headers. If your API key is ever compromised, you can regenerate it in the absentify Dashboard to secure your account data.

​
Example request

Below are examples of how to make an API request with the x-api-key included, demonstrated in multiple programming languages.

import requests

url = "https://api.absentify.com/api/v1/example_endpoint"
api_key = "your_api_key_here"

headers = {
    "x-api-key": api_key,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())

​
Explanation

  1. Set up the API URL: Define the API endpoint you want to access.
  2. Add headers: Include your x-api-key and set Content-Type to “application/json”.
  3. Send the request: Execute the request and process the JSON response.

Replace "https://api.absentify.com/api/v1/example_endpoint" with the specific API endpoint you need, and "your_api_key_here" with your actual API key.
