To authenticate with the Bigdata.com API, you need to use an API key. You can create and manage your API Keys in the Developer Platform > API Keys Developer Platform > API Keys The API key must be included in all API requests to the server in a x-api-key header. Here is an example of how you can make an authenticated request using curl: 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.bigdata.com/v1/search \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-API-KEY: <api-key>' \
  --data '{
  "query": {
    "text": "Microsoft earnings call highlights"
  }
}'
We recommend using environment variables to specify your API Key.
