Authentication

The Dune API uses API keys to authenticate requests. Your API key is used to determine the permissions of private queries you may call, as well as which account to bill for the requests, so be sure to keep them secure!

Do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authentication with the API is performed by adding an โ€œx-dune-api-keyโ€ property to the request header. This is needed on all request types!

Here's one example of doing this with an Execute POST API request:

curl -X POST -H x-dune-api-key:{{api_key}} "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/query/{{query_id}}/execute"
