Overview

Every request to the Proximos API must include your license key as the value of the Authorization HTTP header. The key must be decoded from base64 before use. 
GET /items/26 HTTP/1.1
Host: proximosapi.enlazosystems.com
Authorization: YOUR_DECODED_LICENSE_KEY

​
Decoding Your License Key

After purchasing, your license key is emailed to your payment email address. The key is delivered base64-encoded and must be decoded before it can be used in the header.
Run the following in Terminal on macOS or Linux, replacing the placeholder with the key from your email:
echo "base64EncodedKeyFromEmail" | base64 -d
The decoded key will be printed to the terminal and look something like: OTRQ-W7RO-KE3N-W1HG
Always use the decoded key in your Authorization header. Sending the raw base64 string from your email will result in a 403 Unauthorized response.

​
