Introduction

You can interact with the API via HTTP requests from any language. In the following we use Python, for example.

Installation

To install the HTTP client for Python 3, run the following command:

pip install httpx

Note

You can also use other HTTP libraries, such as requests or aiohttp . But you have to modify the Python script accordingly.

Authentication

The SciGlass Next API uses API keys for authentication.

To keep your account secure we recommend that you don't share your API Key with anyone.

All API requests must include your API key in the X-API-KEY HTTP header, as shown below:

X-API-KEY: $SCIGLASS_NEXT_API_KEY
Replace $SCIGLASS_NEXT_API_KEY with your real API key.

Future

There is currently no official SciGlass Next Python library. Instead, Python scripts are provided as examples.
