Get your API key

Create a Linkup account for free to get your API key.

​
Using cURL

Your API key needs to be sent along all your request as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

curl
curl "https://api.linkup.so/v1/search" \
    -G \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_LINKUP_API_KEY>" \
    ...

​
Using the Python SDK

Option 1: Set a LINKUP_API_KEY environment variable in your shell before using the SDK.

shell
export LINKUP_API_KEY='<YOUR_LINKUP_API_KEY>'

Option 2: Set the LINKUP_API_KEY environment variable directly within Python, using for instance os.environ or python-dotenv.

python
import os
from linkup import LinkupClient

os.environ["LINKUP_API_KEY"] = "<YOUR_LINKUP_API_KEY>"
# or dotenv.load_dotenv()
client = LinkupClient()
...

Option 3: Directly pass the Linkup API key to the Linkup Client.

python
from linkup import LinkupClient

client = LinkupClient(api_key="<YOUR_LINKUP_API_KEY>")
...

​
Using the JS SDK

Pass the Linkup API key to the Linkup Client.

js
import { LinkupClient } from 'linkup-sdk';

const client = new LinkupClient({
  apiKey: '<YOUR_LINKUP_API_KEY>',
});
