Now you see your User ID and API key.
<aside> ⚠️
Caution: As the warning says, it is crucial to copy the apiKey now. We don't have a plain text copy of it. What's even more important: Do not share it with anyone but handle it as you master password.

To authenticate, use these headers for every request you make:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
X-Flixcheck-UserId |
The user ID that you created the API key with. All your requests will be handled in the name of that user – as if the user would act themselves. |
X-Flixcheck-ApiKey |
The API key of the user mentioned in X-Flixcheck-UserId. |
If you want to take actions in the name of some specific user, you need to have an API key of an admin user in the same team or a super team (hierarchially above the team of the user you want to impersonate). Use these headers for impersonation:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
X-Flixcheck-AdminUserId |
The user ID that you created the API key with. This should be the admin user (possbily in a team that is higher than the team of the user you want to impersonate). |
X-Flixcheck-ApiKey |
The API key of the user mentioned in X-Flixcheck-AdminUserId. |
X-Flixcheck-UserId |
The user ID that you want to impersonate. The request will be handled in the name of that user – as if the impersonated user would act themselves. |
