On this reference page we walk you through verifying your ::api key:: and ::secret::. You will also see whether they work with our football API.

REQUEST


To confirm that your api key and api secret work with our football API, just copy this URL and load it in your browser. If the response includes `"success": "true"`, then everything is set up correctly. From there you can start getting live scores and any other data type we offer. For details on how to read live scores, check our live score API reference page.

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "message": "You API key and API secret are working correctly"
    }
}


If you run into any error, that means something is off with the pair you provided. These errors come from our common error messages. They always come with a matching HTTP error response code.
