Authentication - Product Guide

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.

Terminal
Web

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.

Example Requests

curl -H "Authorization: YOUR_DECODED_LICENSE_KEY" \
  https://proximosapi.enlazosystems.com/items/26

import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://proximosapi.enlazosystems.com/items/26",
    headers={"Authorization": "YOUR_DECODED_LICENSE_KEY"}
)
print(response.json())

const response = await fetch("https://proximosapi.enlazosystems.com/items/26", {
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "YOUR_DECODED_LICENSE_KEY"
  }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://proximosapi.enlazosystems.com/items/26")!)
request.setValue("YOUR_DECODED_LICENSE_KEY", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")

let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request)
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data)
print(json)

Prefer Postman or an OpenAPI Client?

Import the Postman collection to get every endpoint pre-configured — just paste your decoded license key into the collection’s Authorization API key value and start sending requests. Prefer to generate your own client? Grab the OpenAPI specification instead.

Authorization Responses

HTTP Status	Meaning
`200 OK`	Authorized — response body contains your requested data
`403 Forbidden`	Unauthorized — missing, invalid, or undecoded (still base64) license key

Lost License Key

If you have lost your license key, use the Lost License Key request in the Requests Zone on the Enlazo Help page to request it be re-sent. It will be emailed automatically to your original payment email address.
