To be able to use the e-manage API you will need an API key. This API key can be obtained by contacting next to food.

The API reads the Authorization HTTP header with every request made. The Bearer scheme value needs to be passed in front of your API key:

Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>

For example if your API key is 5598b6b8-645c-417d-9633-6ff8c1dfcc6f you would have to include the following HTTP key/value pair with every API request:

Authorization: Bearer 5598b6b8-645c-417d-9633-6ff8c1dfcc6f
