Base URL

The Tatango API is built on REST principles. We enforce HTTPS in every request to improve data security, integrity, and privacy. The API does not support HTTP. All requests contain the following base URL: 
https://api.v3.tatango.com

​
Authentication

To authenticate you need to add the x-api-key header populated with your Tatango provided API Key shown in the GIF below. 
x-api-key: tatango_key_xxxxxxxxx

​
API Key Creation

You can create an API key by logging into the Tatango App and navigating to My Account -> API -> Create API Key. GIF showing the process of creating an API key in the Tatango App interface
