When interfacing with the API, ever request requires an API Key to be passed.

Format

API Keys are in the form of a GUID, consisting of 32 hex characters (0-9, A-F) and 4 hyphens in the format of [8]-[4]-[4]-[4]-[12] for example 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012.

Obtaining An API Key

API Keys are issued by MILK.

API Keys are unique to each application and should be treated as secret and not be shared with anyone.

Using An API Key

The API Key should be sent with each request in a custom HTTP header with the field name "X-MILK-API-KEY". The HTTP header field name is not case sensitive.
