Authenticating

All PredictHQ API endpoints require authentication. You can authenticate your request by sending a token in the Authorization header of your request. If you try to use an API endpoint without a token or that token has insufficient permissions, you will receive a 403 Forbidden response.
curl
python
curl -X GET https://api.predicthq.com/v1/events/ \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" 
import requests
​
access_token = "ACCESS_TOKEN"
​
response = requests.get(
    url="https://api.predicthq.com/v1/events/",
    headers={
      "Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"
    }
)
​
print(response.json())
