# Quickstart

> Follow this guide to setup authorization and make your first request to the Rampart API.

### Step 1: Get your Rampart API key

You can get your Rampart API key from the [Rampart Command Center](https://command.rampartcorporation.com/) or by requesting access from support. Never expose any of these keys in client-side code.

### Step 2: Make your first API Call

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X GET "https://api.rampartcorporation.com/ping" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer {RAMPART_API_KEY}"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  url = "https://api.rampartcorporation.com/ping"

  payload = {}

  headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer <RAMPART_API_KEY>'
  }

  response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

  print(response.text)
  ```

  ```javascript JavaScript theme={null}
  const myHeaders = new Headers();
  myHeaders.append("Authorization", "Bearer <RAMPART_API_KEY>");

  const requestOptions = {
    method: "GET",
    headers: myHeaders,
    redirect: "follow"
  };

  fetch("https://api.rampartcorporation.com/ping", requestOptions)
    .then((response) => response.text())
    .then((result) => console.log(result))
    .catch((error) => console.error(error));
  ```
