CoinWorldCap Developer Request a key

Authentication

Every request must include an API key in the X-Api-Key request header. Keys are issued individually per integration — email [email protected] if you don't have one yet, or if your key stops working and you suspect it was revoked.

This is not a new requirement. X-Api-Key has always been part of this contract and the endpoint has always checked it; what changed recently is only that a rejected request now tells you why (see the three codes below). If your integration works today, nothing here asks you to change it.

X-Api-Key: <your-api-key>

Requests without a usable key are rejected with 401 Unauthorized before any other processing happens. Three things make a key unusable, and each answers with its own code so you can tell them apart without asking us — see Errors:

Unknown, malformed or missing 40100 — check what your client is sending
Expired 40101 — the key had a lifetime and it has passed. Ask us to issue a new one
Revoked 40102 — the key was deliberately stopped. Ask us before retrying with anything

A key may carry an expiry date. If yours does, you were told when it was issued, and it stops working the moment it passes — reissuing is routine, so ask early rather than at the point of failure.
