How to pass API key in nodejs about emailrep.io HOT 4 CLOSED

I followed up with the npm api module folks directly on this to see if the issue was on my usage of that module, and they provided this response:

Apparently there is no way to use the api module to interact with the emailrep API until that spec is updated.

I was able to get this to work with Axios in node though:

axios
    .get(`https://emailrep.io/${email}`, {
      headers: {
        Key: API_KEY,
        "User-Agent": "[ANY_STRING]",
      },
    })
    .then((response) => {
      console.log("success", response.data);
      res.json(response.data);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.error(err);
      res.json({
        error: `there was an error with your reputation request: ${err.statusText}`,
        details: err.statusText,
      });
    });

Hi @heaversm! To be honest, that is automatically generated code by our documentation system and may not be right. To use your API key, set it in the Key HTTP header:

https://docs.sublimesecurity.com/docs/emailrep-api#specify-your-api-key-in-the-key-header-field

Let me know if that works for you!

@heaversm was pulling my hair out over the same issue. Foursquare's API docs recommend to use the API package for Node as well but was always getting header authorization problems. Once I switched to Axios all was well again.

Thanks for the call out. Hoping the API team can sort the Node header auth issues out.
