All API requests must include an API key. In production, the supported and preferred approach is the x-api-key HTTP header on every request.
Request header (preferred in production)
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" https://api.secapi.dev/api/v1/sec/submissions For local development and quick experiments, you can also pass the same value as the apiKey query parameter when the header is missing or you need a quick URL-only test. Do not rely on query parameters in production: URLs are often logged, cached, or shared. The API evaluates the x-api-key header before considering apiKey in the query string.
Query parameter (development only)
https://api.secapi.dev/api/v1/sec/submissions?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
Security notice
Keep your API keys secure. Never share your API keys in client-side code or public repositories. Avoid apiKey in URLs outside local development—request logs and referrers can expose them.
