Making your first request

Now that you've been accepted and received the token from the Weeby API bot, you want to know how to use the API and take the opportunity to test the token with the curl command.

Type this in your console:

curl -X GET 'https://weebyapi.xyz/gif/zerotwo' -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN'

If successful, it should return a JSON Object (shown below) of the GIF and that means, you should be able to use our API in your creation!

TIP

For the ease of use, Weeby API supports two types of authentication:

Authorization Header Bearer - Secure
Query Strings ?token= - Insecure

Just for the safety of all developers, we recommend following our examples on the website as it uses the Authorization Header for authenticating our API endpoints. If you know what you are doing with Query Strings, good for you!
