API Key Authentication: Some endpoints require an API key for access. Click the "Authorize" button (🔓) in the Swagger UI below to enter your API key. Once authorized, all requests will automatically include your API key.

Free endpoints (risk scores, recent evidence, summary metrics) do not require authentication. Subscriber endpoints (full historical data, advanced filtering) require a valid API key.
