Using your key
Send the key on each request:

The same header works for account APIs such as GET /api/user/bookmarks, POST /api/user/bookmarks, GET /api/user/recent-searches, and POST /api/user/history. Invalid or revoked keys return 401.
Public JSON endpoints (no key required) are listed at /api/access-resources.
