## Base URL

All **free plan** API endpoints use the following base URL:

```
https://api.coinpaprika.com/v1
```

For the **paid plans**, the base URL is:

```
https://api-pro.coinpaprika.com/v1
```

## Authentication

Most of our API endpoints are available without an API key. However, for higher rate limits and access to premium features, we recommend using an API key.

<Note>
  Authentication may be required for certain endpoints in the future as we expand our services.
</Note>

To authenticate, pass your API key in the `Authorization` header:

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY" "https://api-pro.coinpaprika.com/v1/key/info"
```

A successful response returns JSON with your plan, status, and remaining monthly quota.

<Warning>
  The URL for the paid plans is different from the free plan. Check out our [pricing page](/api-plans) for specific details.
