In this article we'll see how to upload PDF and other files using Parsio API.

Authentication

To access the API, you will need the API key that you will find in your account:

This API key should be included in the X-API-Key HTTP header.

Unauthenticated responses will return in a HTTP 401 Unauthorized code.

Here's a request example using cURL:

curl -X GET https://api.parsio.io/mailboxes/ -H "X-API-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>"
