## Using ProdCamp API

To start using our API you need just a couple of things: generate an API key and get your product ID to make requests to the right product in your workspace. 

### 1. Generate an API key

To do that you need to go to the "**Workspace Settings**" page and then to the "**API**" tab inside your account and press the "**Generate**" button.

### 2. Determine the Product ID

To get your product ID you can go to the "**Products**" page and see it in the "**ID**" column of the products list.

Now, when you have your product ID and your API key you can make requests to the ProdCamp API endpoint.

### Using the product ID

Product ID must be set into the "**X-ProductId"** request header. If no product ID header is sent to the API - the request will be executed as if it was sent with a product ID of your first product in the list.

### Using the API key

The API key can be sent either as a query parameter "**apikey**", or a request header "**X-apikey"**

**Example** of using the API key as a query parameter:

```

```
