Make an API Request

The examples in this section show how to make an API request using cURL.

Authorization

You can collect your API token by following the instructions in the Authentication section. When you call the TextUs APIs, replace {your-token} in the Authorization header with your account’s API token:

-H "Authorization: Bearer {your-token}"

Accept Header

The TextUs API uses a custom mime type. When you call the TextUs APIs, set the Accept header to application/vnd.textus+jsonld:

-i -H "Accept: application/vnd.textus+jsonld"

Content-Type Header

For the TextUs APIs that require a body, set the Content-Type header to application/vnd.textus+jsonld to identify the content type in the request body:

-H "Content-Type: application/vnd.textus+jsonld"
