Authentication in the API

To make sure that any API requests for your account are really coming from you, you'll be asked to authenticate all requests by providing an API key associated with your account.

You have two API keys: One for your demo institution and one for your live institution.

When you make a call to Maxsight, you should send one of these API keys in the header of your request. Send the API key for the institution you're using at the time.

Use your demo institution to try out features and test whether your configuration works as expected. With your live institution, any profiles you create count toward your profiles under management, and you'll be charged for any checks you run.

In this section:

Institutions are tailored workspaces where features like dashboards, assessments, and risk tools are enabled based on configuration. Demo institutions allow unlimited testing using free data sources, while live production institutions run live checks with real data and incur charges accordingly.
