Authentication and authorization

Authentication

To access the Acuris Stolen Identities API, you need a valid API key. If you don’t have an API key, then you can obtain one by requesting a trial or contacting our sales team.

This is an example of an Acuris Stolen Identities API key token:

4szGkbeK-3nzg-jYvj-Lu7R-YmPXH4aHFKmB

Each key is unique to a given company, for auditing purposes.

The API key must be passed in the request header, as the ‘apiKey’ field name:

curl -H 'apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY' {options} {url}

Authorization

If your API subscription is valid and there are no errors in your query, then you’ll receive a ‘200 OK’ response back with the matching payload.

If your API key is not authorized for the API you are calling, then you will receive a ‘401 Unauthorized’ error:

{"message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."}
