Authenticating to the API

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 -X GET https://api.predicthq.com/v1/events/ \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN"
