  • To find it:
  • Go to My Account > API Keys
  • Click "Generate API Key" if none exists
  • Copy your API key securely
  • ⚠️ Never expose your API key publicly. If compromised, regenerate it immediately.

Step 5: Make Your First API Call

  • Let's test your integration. Here's how to use your FireAPI key in a sample request:
  • Example: Vehicle RC Check (GET Request)
  • Endpoint: https://api.fireapi.io/vehicle/rc?number=DL8CAF5032
  • Request Headers:
  • Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  • Content-Type: application/json
  • Sample using cURL:
  • curl -X GET "https://api.fireapi.io/vehicle/rc?number=DL8CAF5032" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  • Sample using Node.js:
  • const fetch = require("node-fetch");
  • fetch("https://api.fireapi.io/vehicle/rc?number=DL8CAF5032", {
  • headers: {
  • "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  • }
  • })
  • .then(res => res.json())
  • .then(data => console.log(data));
