Making Your First Call

Let's make a simple request to retrieve a list of available products. This is a great way to verify that your authentication is working correctly.

You'll need two things for this request:

• Your API Key.
• A unique Request ID (a version 4 UUID), which you'll generate for every request.

📘

The X-Request-ID header is required on all endpoints. It allows us to trace a specific request and is essential for troubleshooting if you ever need support.

Request: Get Products

Using a command-line tool like cURL, you can make a GET request to the /products endpoint in our UAT environment.

curl -X GET '[https://api-uat.megsapp.com/api/v2/products](https://api-uat.megsapp.com/api/v2/products) '\
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR\_API\_KEY'\
-H 'X-Request-ID: YOUR\_UNIQUE\_UUID'

🚧

Don't forget to replace:

• YOUR_API_KEY with your actual Bearer Token.
• YOUR_UNIQUE_UUID with a newly generated UUID (e.g., 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000).

Successful Response

If your request is successful, you'll receive a 200 OK status code and a JSON object containing a list of products.

Congratulations! You've just made your first successful API call.
