Authentication

The API provides different methods of authorization. Each request made against the API must be supplied with authentication credentials. Consider that without an API key, most requests will return default sample data.

Authorization parameters can be provided in the URL query.

curl -i "https://api.tradingeconomics.com/country/mexico/?client=your_api_key"

You can also use request Headers

curl -i "https://api.tradingeconomics.com/country/mexico/" -H "Authorization: Client your_api_key"
